Colors of Gratitude
The impact of Pay It Forward Together has been felt around the community. Our community members shared their messages of gratitude for our healthcare teams fighting COVID-19. These were then woven into tapestries that are now displayed in our hospital lobbies. Thank you to everyone behind the scenes, on the front lines, everywhere.
