hank you

Thank you to our community …

When the World Health Organization ( WHO ) declared COVID-19 a global pandemic , it was a moment that would change all of our lives . The COVID-19 pandemic has made a profound impact on our daily lives and has touched every aspect of society and every demographic . The sacrifice and loss has been profound and devastating for many in our community and beyond .
COVID-19 also challenged and changed the way our healthcare system operates – breaking down barriers to take collective action . Our staff and physicians , volunteers , and learners have adapted at an unprecedented pace to a rapidly changing environment . Every day brought new challenges , and together , new learnings and creative solutions that have helped us to better respond to the pandemic . Our JBH teams have risen to every challenge , from those providing direct patient care , to those working behind the scenes to ensure that JBH could continue to provide safe and quality care . Their contributions in responding to this Pandemic have been nothing short of outstanding .
Our heartfelt thanks also goes out to everyone in our community who has supported our hospital in countless ways . Everyone inside the walls of JBH felt your unwavering support , read your motivational words shared on social media , and saw your front porch claps and lawn signs that signalled to our healthcare heroes that their work matters and that we appreciate all that they do .
This year we have all learned a great deal about ourselves and each other , and what we can accomplish when we work together to provide care to everyone who needs it in the moments when it matters .
