The North Shore-LIJ Helps Website is inspiring employees to come together to carpool, give away clothing, provide information on where to find a hot meal, and much, much more. Almost 250 employees and their family members have been placed in temporary housing due to the destruction caused by Hurricane Sandy, and more than 1,000 hours of colleagues' personal vacation time has already been donated to help victims. The response to the Emergency Employee Resource Center has been overwhelming, and its efforts are not going unrecognized.
Watch this video from CBS 2 News of the EERC in action. Mary LaPorta, a Franklin Hospital employee, lost everything after the hurricane. North Shore-LIJ's EERC is not only helping Mary get back on her feet with temporary housing, but also her sister and her son with special needs. This is just one of several hundred inspiring cases in which North Shore-LIJ is helping employees recover.
