Today, we take time to reflect upon the everyday freedoms we enjoy because of our rich history. The Fourth of Julyalso known as Independence Dayhas been a federal holiday since 1941, but the tradition of Independence Day celebrations goes back to the 18th century and the American Revolution. To all those who have served and those who stood beside them to preserve our independence, thank you.... We wish our employees, patients, and community a safe and very happy Fourth of July! We offer special thanks to all our colleagues who are working over the holiday weekend to provide superior care to our patients and their families.

Wearing a face mask can take some getting used to, but wearing one correctly is the whole point of why they work. LEARN MORE: https://www.cdc.gov//preven/cloth-face-cover-guidance.html
