In a video of Twitter shared by the hospital, the singer had a very special message for the staff on the front lines.

We are all out here praying for y'all, thinking of you every single day. The least I could do is send y'all some lunch. I hope you enjoy your food and I hope it puts a smile on your face. I hope you have a great, great, great day because I love you."
