COVID-19 Freebies, Discounts, and Resources for Nurses and Medical Professionals
Giving back is part of what makes people human. In times of crisis, Americans and American companies are known for coming together for the greater good. Countless small and large companies are doing whatever they can for nurses on the front lines during the war against COVID-19.

Nurses, doctors, and medical professionals are on the front lines in the battle against COVID-19. In the wake of this pandemic, numerous companies are stepping up to give back and show just how much those fighting a virtually invisible enemy matter.
New York state and even more specifically New York City are at the epicenter of the war against coronavirus. With an influx of nurses and medical professionals making their way into the nation's largest metropolitan area, housing and lodging are in high demand. With nurses being exposed to this deadly virus throughout the day and night, an attempt to get a good night's sleep is more important than ever.
Governor Andrew Cuomo announced on Twitter recently that the Four Seasons Hotel on 57th Street will provide “FREE lodging to doctors, nurses & medical personnel currently working to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.”
Footwear is also essential for nurses. That's why Crocs is giving away a limited amount of their footwear to medical professionals each day.
Crocs is now offering free pairs of shoes to health care workers fighting on the front lines against the coronavirus.
Health care workers can place an order for their free Crocs on crocs.com. It’s part of the “A Free Pair for Healthcare” program, according to a release from Crocs.
For what seems like months, it has been nearly impossible to find hand sanitizer. Along with routinely washing one's hands, hand sanitizer is an important piece in the war against the coronavirus. With big-name manufacturers unable to keep up with the overwhelming demand, distilleries across the country are stepping up to produce their own hand sanitizer. One distillery in the New York City borough of Brooklyn has gained some attention by distributing their hand sanitizer for area residents.
Thanks to the ambitious work of two distillers at Brooklyn-based Kings County Distillery who researched World Health Organization and Centers for Disease Control guidelines for hand sanitizers, the distillery now has 1,000 bottles ready for the public.
This is just the tip of the iceberg, though. What are you, our readers, seeing from various companies stepping up and giving back to nurses, doctors, and other healthcare professionals? Share it with your peers in the comments and we'll be updating this article as well!
