Nicole Nolan has become Bristol Hospital’s latest coronavirus survivor.

Nolan, who is 34 weeks pregnant, was discharged from the hospital Friday to a goodbye that has become the norm at the hospital - doctors, nurses and other staff lined the hallways near the hospital’s entrance and clapped for her as she left. “Gonna Fly Now,” the theme music to the movie “Rocky,” played as staff at the hospital celebrated another triumph against a nasty virus that has killed more than 68,000 people in America and nearly a quarter of a million worldwide.

Bristol Health Medical Group doctors have begun seeing many patients using a telemedicine video service that helps limit person-to-person contact and cut down on possible exposures to the coronavirus.

"Our priority is the health and safety of our patients as well as that of our physicians, providers and staff,” said Dr. Liran Blum, chairman of the Bristol Health Medical Group Board of Directors. “In order to comply with social distancing and in an effort to ‘flatten the curve’ of coronavirus spread, our physicians and administration are working collaboratively to transition most office visits to telehealth visits.”
