A Message About COVID-19 From Philly Fights Cancer
Friday, April 3, 2020
To our supporters and friends, we understand that we are amid challenging and uncertain times. Our normal way of life has been interrupted, with lingering questions and fear surrounding the long-term impact of COVID-19. Especially for those caring for a loved one with cancer or battling the disease themselves at this time, the health risks of COVID-19 can be especially concerning.
Penn Medicine and Abramson Cancer Center continue to be fully-operational hubs for patient health and treatment. We encourage our Philly Fights Cancer family to stay up-to-date on CDC guidelines and best-practices through the Penn Medicine website. You may also access Penn Medicine’s hotline if you have any questions about the novel coronavirus and COVID-19 disease. 267-785-8585. Penn Medicine staff are fully prepared to evaluate and care for patients who may be infected with COVID-19 disease, while taking the strongest possible precautions to ensure the health and safety of all other patients, their families, and hospital staff.
We look forward to the incredible medical advancements to come, and thank the heroes on the front lines- the nurses, doctors, medical staff- who selflessly and tirelessly continue to fight for the health and wellbeing of us all.
