Journey‘s classic “Don’t Stop Believin’” has become an anthem for hospitalized patients recovering from coronavirus. Blabbermouth.com reported the song gets blasted at Detroit’s Henry Ford Hospital and in the “Big Apple” at New York-Presbyterian Queens Hospital as patients slowly recover.
Veronica Hall, a resident nurse and president of the president of Henry Ford told The Detroit News: “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.”
New York-Presbyterian Queens Hospital posted on social media: “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.”
Former frontman and the song’s co-writer, Steve Perry, tweeted: “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.”
