I want to express my deepest gratitude to the nurses and staff who volunteered to remain in the hospital, working back-to-back twelve-hour shifts to ensure our patients received uninterrupted, compassionate, and expert care. Their dedication, professionalism, and quiet resolve were nothing short of remarkable.

While similar acts of dedication occurred at hospitals across the country, I want to offer a special and heartfelt thank you to our incredible team at ๐—๐—ฒ๐—ณ๐—ณ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜€๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐— ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜๐—ด๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜† ๐—›๐—ผ๐˜€๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—น.
