We residents are Woodhull Medical Center, feel it is our right to request hazard pay during the COVID 19 pandemic. We request this hazard pay to help offset the hardships we have to endure by being the frontline staff throughout the hospital during this pandemic, placing ourselves at risk with inadequate PPEs, the amount of time several of us have invested to find donations for PPEs, the hardship that this pandemic has placed on many of our families who live with us, and finally, for the loss of personal time and professional training. While we signed up to become residents to learn how to become autonomous physicians in the future through long hours of work and training at Woodhull, we also feel that we are placing ourselves, our families and friends at greater risk now during this pandemic and that should warrant monetary compensation.

I have spent my nights reading through your stories about the risks we face at Woodhull and the strain this puts on our families back home. These experiences are the fuel for the meetings I am now arranging with the hospital administration to demand the recognition we have earned.
April 9, 2020
Seeing this momentum grow reminds me that the long shifts and the constant worry about our families are felt by so many others on the front lines. It is humbling to know that our fight for basic recognition is gaining traction among colleagues who endure these same risks every single day.

hazard pay now. hospital admins are ignoring us.
We are working ourselves to the bone with no extra help. This is the least they can do for us.
I havent seen my family in months because of the exposure risk. give us what we are owed.
The amount we are getting paid compared to how much risk we face is just insulting at this point.
Just want to be compensated for the PPE I had to order on amazon out of my own pocket!!!!
Every health care worker deserves hazard pay!
We are paying for our own PPE in order to work safely

My wife is terrified every time I walk through the front door after my shift.
