This week is National Hospital Week, which celebrates hospitals and all the amazing workers who support the health and well-being of their communities through dedication and compassionate care from the heart. It also recognizes the miracles they help to make happen on a day to day basis, both large and small. During National Hospital Week, the Greater Joliet Area YMCA encourages you and your family to thank all of these dedicated individuals, including physicians, nurses, therapists, volunteers, administrators, and so many more.
At the Greater Joliet Area YMCA, we have the privilege of working with so many amazing health care professionals in our local communities. In celebration of National Hospital Week, we’d like to thank our partners at Morris Hospital and Healthcare Centers and Endeavor Health for their continued support and commitment to enhancing the health and wellness of our members and their families.
