Marriott International is helping frontline healthcare workers and community caregivers working to contain the coronavirus pandemic by implementing the following Marriott Cares programs.
1. Many of the Marriott properties and associates have been stepping up to the challenge by hosting caregivers and providing safe environments for guests. The properties have been donating cooked and pre-packaged meals and critically important supplies - cleaning products, masks, gloves, anti-microbial wipes, sanitizers and shower caps for medical and other frontline workers.
2. American Express and JPMorgan Chase committed to partner with Marriott International to provide $10 million worth of free hotel stays for frontline healthcare doctors and nurses. 'Rooms for Responders' are for professionals who are members of the American College of Emergency Physicians and the Emergency Nurse Association. These free Marriott rooms are available in some of the most impacted cities with COVID-19, including Chicago, Detroit, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, New Orleans, New York City, Newark, NJ and Washington, D.C.
3. Marriott through its Community Caregiver Program, offers room nights at a reduced rate to healthcare workers, regardless of their association affiliation. This special is available in the United States, Canada, the Caribbean, and Latin America.
