For Immediate Release: Saturday, May 2, 2020
My colleagues and I at the Montgomery County Council want to express our gratitude to the critical front-line personnel, medical professionals, social service providers and the many healthcare workers who are rallying to meet the needs of our community members during this incredibly challenging time.
Our healthcare professionals have made countless sacrifices by being on the frontlines of the Covid-19 battle. They willingly put themselves in the path of this insidious virus to protect the health and welfare of our society. Each one of you have risen to this public health crisis to make sure that our residents are receiving an outstanding quality of care. You have also become an essential emotional lifeline for patients and their families to combat the physical isolation that accompanies this virus. We admire and are deeply grateful for your dedication, commitment and courage.
It is the collective action of health experts, local and state leaders, community partners and our residents that will get us through this crisis. We pledge to provide all of the resources possible to support our healthcare providers and our community throughout these difficult times. We are in this fight together, and we will get through it together as One Montgomery.
I encourage all community members to recognize our healthcare heroes today and every day. Thank you for being a shining light in this dark time of uncertainty.
