Patients prevailing over the new coronavirus disease have their own victorious song, Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin”. That happened at two hospitals in USA, in New York and Michigan.
“The song is a sign of hope, a reminder to patients to never give up and a motivational thank-you to tired, never-stop-trying team members”, said Veronica Hall, president of Henry Ford Hospital and a registered nurse.
“As a message of hope during these challenging times, #NYPQueens plays JOURNEY’s ‘Don’t Stop Believin” throughout the hospital each time a #COVID19 patient is discharged and on the road to recovery”, New York-Presbyterian Queens Hospital wrote in the social media.
Journey singer Steve Perry noticed the hospital’s video on Twitter, and wrote: “I wanted to share a little cheer from New York Presbyterian Queens Hospital in NY. They play ‘Don’t Stop Believin” every time a COVID-19 patient is discharged. We’re all in this together, and we’ll get through this together. #DontStopBelievin.”
Journey keyboard player Jonathan Cain (co-writer of the song) said he loved how “Don’t Stop Believin'” is now being used. “Love this from a hospital in NYC where people are being released after beating Covid -19 while they played our song,” Cain wrote.
