Mobile App Developer Will Donate to Nurses House Fund Supporting Healthcare Frontline Workers Who Have Contracted COVID-19
theEMPLOYEEapp by APPrise Mobile, developer of internal communications and employee engagement technologies, launched its month-long campaign to celebrate National Nurses Month. During the month of May, theEMPLOYEEapp will donate to the Nurses House COVID-19 Fund, a joint fundraising effort by two nonprofit organizations, Nurses House and the American Nurses Foundation, to help nurses nationwide who have been infected with the coronavirus. The Fund covers medical expenses for nurses so they can focus on recovering. For every message posted by a customer using theEMPLOYEEapp during the month of May, they will donate $1 to the Fund.
The Center for Disease Control has designated nurses and other frontline healthcare workers as having a greater risk for “direct or indirect exposure to patients or infectious materials.” As of April 15, 2020, more than 9,000 healthcare workers across the nation have become infected with the coronavirus, according to a CDC study.
“As a New York company, we have seen first-hand the devastation the pandemic has caused in our communities, and the continued devotion nurses have shown to their patients—even at their own risk,” said Doug Pierce, chief operating officer of APPrise Mobile. “Many of APPrise Mobile’s healthcare customers are using theEMPLOYEEapp to get important information to their frontline workers during this ordeal, so this cause feels personal to us. This fundraiser is helping the helpers when they need it most, and we’re proud to support it.”
