The Hawks wanted to find a way to support healthcare workers during the coronavirus crisis, and one email from CEO Steve Koonin to Dr. Jonathan Lewin, president and CEO of Emory Healthcare, got the ball rolling.
In the span of a week, the Hawks figured out a supply chain that could bring 4,000 meals a week to approximately 1,000 healthcare workers who are taking care of COVID-19 patients at six Emory hospital facilities in metro Atlanta. Partnering with State Farm, they will sponsor two area restaurants, Miller Union and Forza Storico, to prepare the meals using product from local farmers.
