DuBOIS — During the week of May 10-14, Penn Highlands Healthcare will plant a tree at each of their nine facility locations to honor those who lost their lives as well as the courageous survivors of COVID-19.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on everyone,” said Jake Maijala, Chief Human Resources Officer, Penn Highlands Healthcare. “It is important to take this time to pause and reflect on the past year as we come together to remember the lives lost to COVID-19 as well as to recognize those who are healing from the effects of this pandemic. We also want to acknowledge the tireless and extraordinary efforts put forth by all healthcare workers.”
Penn Highlands Elk will hold a ceremony at 1 p.m. Friday in front of the old section of the hospital, near the front doors, in the circular area where the Virgin Mary statue is standing.
