“Our healthcare workers have been on the frontlines for nine months now. It’s been a hard struggle, it’s been a long pandemic and a lot of unknowns for them to deal with and yet they have relentlessly and tirelessly stayed on the frontlines making sure the public, our patients, our families and their families were safe,” said Jan Gannon, Chief Nursing Officer.
As healthcare workers drive to or from their shift, the holiday lights will express support.
HCA is calling upon every citizen, business, and community to keep their holiday lights up through January 31 to recognize those working in healthcare.
