Freedom isn’t free. It is earned through the tremendous sacrifice and courage of men and women who answer the call to military service. On Friday, May 27 at 10 a.m., MercyOne Clinton Medical Center will remember and celebrate our veterans during a special program.
“We are indebted to these heroes and their families. They are selfless in their service and love of our country and communities,” said Amy Berentes, MercyOne Clinton chief operating officer. “While they are away we are privileged to serve the health needs of their families. When they return, our physicians and providers will provide safe, innovative, personalized care to meet the specialized needs of the military community.”
Clinton area residents are encouraged to join us outside the medical center at 1410 N. 14th St. The program will include:
- Raising the flag to half-staff with the playing of Taps
- Singing of our national anthem and Pledge of Allegiance
- Prayer
- A thank you and recognition of veterans in attendance
- Presentation of a Memorial Wreath to be placed in the medical center north lobby
