Nassau’s first responders saluted hospital workers ending their 12-hour shift and those just beginning one outside North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset earlier this week.

The special salute on Tuesday, April 7, was captured on video. The emotionally taxed Northwell Health staff on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic got a boost from the signs and applause, thanking them for their life-saving work.

Other salutes to hospital staff have been seen across Long Island and all over the nation.
