At around noon Thursday, the emergency room parking lot at Yale-New Haven Hospital (YNHH)’s St. Raphael campus was filled with partially-red trucks. Most had stretchers being loaded in and out, occasionally with a patient but most of the time empty. Paramedics gathered by the rear of their ambulances and waited, or sprayed down their equipment. One of the red trucks featured even more of a flurry of activity. But pizzas, not stretchers, were flowing in and out. The whole parking lot smelled like ever-so slightly charred crust and sizzling tomato sauce and mozzarella. Bernardo, the chef and businessman behind the New Haven Pizza Truck, ended up making and donating 186 cheese pizzas on Thursday to serve around 600 medical staff at the St. Raphael campus as well as the emergency room at YNHH’s York Street campus.<< [/QUOTE]
