The UCSF health care workers specialize in critical care, hospital medicine and emergency medicine. They were selected from more than 150 nurses and 50 physicians who volunteered for the assignment.
加州大学旧金山分校的医护人员专门从事重症护理、医院医学和急诊医学。他们是从150多名自愿参与这项任务的护士和50多名医生中挑选出来的。
In recent weeks, New York City has become the country’s epicenter for COVID-19 infections, which has taxed its health care system. As of April 8, 2020, there were 20,474 hospitalized patients with the illness in its hospitals. As of the evening of April 9, there were 2,520 inpatients with COVID-19 at NewYork-Presbyterian hospitals.
最近几周，纽约市已经成为美国COVID-19 致命传染病的重灾区，这使得纽约市的医疗保健系统不堪重负。截至2020年4月8日，全市共有20474名住院患者。截至4月9日晚间，纽约长老会医院（NYP）共有2,520名COVID-19 患者。
San Francisco, by contrast, has had far fewer cases and hospitalizations. As of April 6, there were 90 hospitalized patients in the city. As of April 9, 2020, UCSF Health had 20 hospitalized patients, with an additional 12 patients awaiting results of their tests.
相比之下，旧金山的病例和住院人数要少得多。截至4月6日，全市共有90名住院患者。截至2020年4月9日，加州大学旧金山分校健康中心有20名患者住院，另有12名患者等待他们的检测结果。
Providing support for NYP is an opportunity for UCSF to advance its public health mission, which NYP shares. NYP is one of the nation’s leading academic healthcare systems, encompassing 10 hospital campuses across the Greater New York area and more than 200 primary and specialty care clinics and medical groups. It is affiliated with two top-ranked medical schools, Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons and Weill Cornell Medicine.
为NYP提供支持是UCSF推进其公共卫生使命的一个机会，NYP也参与其中。NYP是美国领先的学术医疗保健系统之一，包括大纽约地区的10个分院区，200多个初级和专科护理诊所及医疗团队。它隶属于两所顶尖的医学院，哥伦比亚大学瓦格洛斯学院（Columbia University Vagelos College）内外科和威尔康奈尔医学院（Weill Cornell Medicine）。
In addition to providing health care support, UCSF’s volunteers will have the opportunity to learn from their colleagues and gain experience in responding to a sustained surge from a pandemic. This knowledge would prove useful should San Francisco ultimately experience a surge with COVID-19 or with a future pandemic.
除了提供卫生保健支持外，加州大学旧金山分校的志愿者还将有机会向他们的同事学习，并在应对大流行病的持续激增方面获得经验。如果旧金山最终经历了COVID-19的激增或未来的大流行，这些经验将被证明是有用的。
“This is an opportunity for UCSF to support our health care colleagues on the front lines in New York City,” said Josh Adler, M.D., Chief Clinical Officer, UCSF Health. “We remain focused on our patients here in San Francisco, and are very well resourced with health care workers should we face a surge ourselves, even with our volunteers in New York. But our present capacity allows us to extend our public health mission to those who are facing some of the country’s most challenging conditions during this pandemic.”
“这是加州大学旧金山分校支持我们在纽约市前线的医护同事的一个机会，”加州大学旧金山分校卫生部门的首席临床官Josh Adler医学博士说。“我们仍然专注于我们在旧金山的病人，如果我们自己面临病人激增，即使少了我们在纽约的志愿者，我们仍旧有充足的医疗工作者资源，我们目前的能力使我们有条件能够将我们的公共卫生使命扩展到那些在这次大流行病期间最具医疗挑战性的病人。”
“We are deeply grateful to UCSF Health and to this remarkable team of doctors and nurses who have selflessly stepped up to help care for our patients,” said Dr. Steven J. Corwin, president and CEO of NewYork-Presbyterian. “Their willingness to set aside their own lives to come to the aid of colleagues across the country is truly extraordinary. We look forward to welcoming them to NewYork-Presbyterian.”
纽约长老会医院的总裁兼首席执行官Steven J. Corwin博士说:“我们非常感谢加州大学旧金山分校的医疗团队，感谢这支出色的医生和护士团队，他们无私地站出来帮助照顾我们的病人。他们愿意牺牲自己的生命来帮助全国各地的同事，这真的非同寻常。我们期待并欢迎他们来到纽约长老会医院。”
