Northwell Nurse Choir[]
In 2020, during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, a choir was formed consisting of 18 nurses from the organization who had worked on the frontline to aid those affected by the virus. All members who took part conducted virtual performances, with the choir created to support the nonprofit Nurse Heroes group.[5][6] The group came to prominence in 2021 when they auditioned on the 16th season of America's Got Talent.[7]
