Every year at this time, Salinas Valley Health joins with our colleagues from across the country in celebrating National Hospital Week from May 10^th to May 16^th.

This year, the ways we are celebrating this important occasion are a bit different due to social distancing requirements and other safety measures that are necessary to address COVID-19. Yet, one thing remains the same: My appreciation for everyone working so hard on behalf of their patients and their communities.

Please take a minute to watch this brief video as just one small token of thanks from me to all the healthcare heroes around the country.

National Hospital Week 2020 highlights the adage of every hospital, health system and person involved in keeping our communities healthy – that health comes first.

Now more than ever, this important week gives us all the opportunity to highlight our hospitals, health systems and healthcare workers and the innovative ways they are supporting the needs of their community members during this pandemic.

With that in mind, this year’s celebration of hospitals, health systems and healthcare workers is taking the form of “A Week of Thanks,” where people can participate from the safety and comfort of their homes while healthcare heroes continue to work fighting against COVID-19.

Join me in sharing your thanks.
