St. Mark’s Welcome Back Event Held

A big crowd showed up Tuesday for what was billed as a “Welcome Back Community Celebration” at St. Mark’s Medical Center. The gathering had several focuses. It was part celebration of the hospital’s recent ranking among the Top 100 Rural and Community Hospital’s in the United States by the Chartis Center for Rural Health and part celebration of the reopening of the hospital in a more public sense to volunteers and visitors as the COVID crisis lessens. The event included a Blessing of the Hands for the health care workers present. Above, new CEO Mark Kimball addresses the crowd. More on the event in Tuesday’s Record. Photo by Jeff Wick
