SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Upstate University Hospital has sent 22 more employees to Stony Brook University Hospital to help the Long Island facility treat COVID-19 patients.
The group — which departed the hospital Tuesday morning — includes 12 nurses, two respiratory therapists, three pharmacists, and five pharmacy technicians, the hospital announced.
The pharmacists are needed to continue to sustain the core pharmacy services at Stony Brook University Hospital, such as mixing chemotherapy compounds, Upstate said. The pharmacists will also support Stony Brook’s sterile compounding needs, which includes such services as preparing intravenous fluids.
