Support the HSS Employee Assistance Fund
Throughout this crisis, we've received numerous requests from our friends and community members who wish to support our team at HSS. Thank you for your kindness; we welcome your generosity. We have set up a special HSS Employee Assistance Fund to help meet the basic needs of our workers including childcare, transportation, and housing, so that they can focus on what they do best—caring for patients.
