Above / In plenty of time for COVID-19 Nurses at Edward Hospital to be ready St. Patrick’s Day on March 17, members of the West Suburban Irish presented handmade Irish-theme commemorative scarfs with words of gratitude.
Members of the West Suburban Irish wanted to say ‘thank you’ to all the COVID-19 Nurses at Edward Hospital, so the nonprofit service organization provided 120 Irish-theme scarves to Deborah Kocsis, Director of InPatient Medical Services and Nursing Services, at Edward Hospital.
Kocsis said the scarves would really lift their spirits and genuinely appreciated this nice gesture, organizers said.
