Nearly one year after Superstorm Sandy, the HHC system is better prepared to handle unexpected events, with plans to keep water out of facilities, protect systems that cannot be moved and better track patients if an evacuation is necessary.

Pediatric Head Nurse and Patient Safety Champion Reemberto Pérez says improving the health of kids is all about teamwork at HHC’s Belvis Diagnostic & Treatment Center.
