COVID-19 has reshaped ROI-NJ’s annual ROI Influencers: Health Care

When we were putting together the 2020 ROI Influencers: Health Care list, we knew it had to be different. It is.

We have made a point to honor as many people as possible who were — and still are — directly involved in COVID-19 care at our heroic hospitals. That’s why you’ll not only see more doctors, nurses and department heads, but a special section on some of the “unsung heroes” who proved that every hospital worker is essential.

COVID-19 has tested our health care system like nothing else in our lifetime. In this issue, we celebrate some of folks who stood tall in the face of the crisis.
