St. Mark’s Celebrates National Hospital Week

Volunteers and staff of St. Mark’s gather for a photo celebrating National Hospital Week.

“In celebration of National Hospital Week, we thank our community for the privilege to serve our citizens and neighbors with compassionate, quality care, here, close to home,” said Mark Kimball, president and CEO of St. Mark’s Medical Center. “Every member of our staff is dedicated and honored to care for and protect the health of our community, especially during these difficult times.”

Long esteemed as healing environments, hospitals remain a vital link to ensure the wellbeing of communities. National Hospital Week applauds the nation’s hospitals, healthcare systems, and healthcare professionals as they provide essential, innovative frontline care.

With unprecedented demands on America’s healthcare system from COVID-19, U.S. hospitals continue to focus on their mission to meet local healthcare needs.

An annual event, National Hospital Week celebrates the history, technology, and dedicated professionals that make healthcare facilities examples of trust and caring. Throughout the year, hospitals strive to improve patient care and the patient experience.
