A Brooklyn grandmother and special ed teacher was celebrated as the 750th coronavirus patient to beat the bug at NYU Winthrop Hospital on Tuesday.

Deborah Priester, 69, was wheeled out of the Mineola hospital to claps and cheers from staff — and while dancing in her seat to Kool and the Gang’s classic “Celebration.”

“I thank God that I’m able to go home and that I’ve had such a wonderful experience and I’ve had so many doctors and nurses to take care of me over the last couple of days,” Priester told reporters. “And I just thank God that I’m recovered, back to good health and on my way.”

She spoke to reporters outside the hospital amid a throng of healthcare workers, three of them holding up gold balloons with the numbers 7, 5 and 0.

Priester wore a protective mask and held a sign also reading “750” on her lap as she spoke to reporters.

She said she’s an early childhood teacher and is anxious to get back home — and eventually back into the classroom.

“I miss my students so much,” she said. “It’s one of the things that kept me going, to think about how much hard work that you put into them and you can’t wait to see those shiny faces and those bright eyes.”

Priester, a mother of four and grandmother of eight from East New York, was admitted to the hospital on Thursday and was cleared to leave Tuesday, said hospital spokeswoman Anne Kazel-Wilcox.

She would not say how many COVID-19 patients in total have been treated at the hospital nor how many have succumbed to the virus.

But she said NYU Winthrop serves one of eight sites identified by Gov. Andrew Cuomo as COVID-19 “hot spots,” and was the site of Long Island’s first reported coronavirus case.

The 511-bed hospital soon became “ground zero” for the virus on the island, officials said in a press release.

Kazel-Wilcox said the hospital had to greatly expand to accommodate the influx of patients from the global pandemic, placing them “in every nook and cranny,” including conference rooms, the hospital library and in two hospital tents outside.

Now, she said, some of those spaces are being reclaimed as the number of patients slowly dwindles.
