Purpose: We conducted a 3-h, interactive, experiential poverty simulation workshop with an interprofessional group of pre-professional health students to increase their comprehension about the realities of poverty.
Importance: There is limited information describing the presenting characteristics and outcomes of US patients requiring hospitalization for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
Objective: To describe the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with COVID-19 hospitalized in a US health care system.
Design, Setting, And Participants: Case series of patients with COVID-19 admitted to 12 hospitals in New York City, Long Island, and Westchester County, New York, within the Northwell Health system.
