The Comfort-Care Correlation

A patient’s care is informed by more than just their dedicated teams of doctors and nurses. What has increasingly set NYU Langone Health apart is the empathy-led approach taken by every employee, as we work together to improve the health results of patients. Nowhere is this more evident than with the team members some might call “the comfort givers.”

For those tasked with preparing and delivering patients’ meals or cleaning their hospital room, an emphasis on human connection helps encourage healing in a way that complements the course of treatment prescribed by their doctors. This has become the cornerstone of the NYU Langone experience, where small acts of kindness continue to have a positive ripple effect on a patient’s health and healing.
