From bottom to top, thank you, staff of JHC. To face what you face every day, you are superheroes, though you may not think yourself such. Your efforts are appreciated by many. Our thoughts are often with you.
Jefferson County has one of the lowest county covid death rates in the nation. We couldn't be there without the dedication and professionalism of JHC.
Someday, we will come out the far side of this to brighter days. In whatever way we celebrate, you will be the center of that celebration.
Again, thank you.
