Mount Nittany Health held a special event this evening to honor their healthcare workers who are working on the frontlines of the pandemic.
The Luminary Event was called Luminary Reflection an evening of recognition, remembrance, gratitude and hope.
Organizers say 1000 Luminaries with uplifting messages written on them were lit throughout the Mount Nittany Medical Center’s Healing Garden.
“The pandemic of course affected all of us in different ways. We’ll never be the same. And so I think giving people a chance to express their thoughts about it in this way was a great idea. And even more beautiful than I had
imagined.”
During the pandemic, Mount Nittany Health cared for over 2000 patients with COVID-19, administered more than 80 thousand COVID-19 tests and 50 thousand vaccines.
