The hospital's environmental services manager, Erasmo Ramos, knew it might be challenging to find employees willing to take on the task. The environmental services team plays a critical role in protecting patients and employees.

Five courageous staff members volunteered.

"I'm really happy that this team came together and told me, 'Erasmo, we can clean the rooms'," Ramos said in a press release from New York-Presbyterian.

"Even though we are facing a difficult moment, they always come with that energy, and they always work together," Ramos said. "They really inspire me as a leader."
