Coronavirus hotspots like New York City have been recruiting tens of thousands of health care workers with higher hazard pay offers to relieve its exhausted hospital staff.

Brandy Brown, a nurse practitioner based in Snellville, was one who answered that call. She’s been there for three weeks.

“Yes, the money was good, but also I’m just the humanitarian as a whole. So I thought it would be something that I would be able to do and be helpful for,” Brown said.
