Close to two dozen representatives from CUIMC waved to cheering onlookers as they marched up Broadway from Battery Park to City Hall.
“It was surreal. I couldn’t believe how many people showed up to celebrate,” says Tsion Firew, MD, assistant professor of emergency medicine at VP&S. “The second we turned that corner, we saw this sea of people. It just felt unreal to see how much people appreciated us and to see how grateful they were. There were people of all ages in that crowd—people who had survived COVID and people who believe in science.
“It was just great to be back in the streets of New York,” she adds. “To see people celebrating in the streets—it's been a long time coming.”
