It’s been roughly two months since Gov. Larry Hogan issued a stay-at-home order to stop the spread of COVID-19 in our state.

In that time, we at MHA, and all of Maryland, have been inspired by your teams every day. The dedicated people at hospitals answered the call quickly and with full force. Those efforts have saved many lives.

We know your caregivers would say they are just doing their jobs. Yet it is gratifying to see the goodwill your hospitals have won. Local restaurants are donating food, neighbors are posting signs praising your health care heroes, and fellow first responders are blaring sirens in solidarity. State and federal leaders have publicly praised your hospitals and thanked them for getting us through this crisis.

To continue to showcase Maryland’s support for your hospitals, we released this video earlier this week on social media. I hope you’ll have a chance over the holiday weekend to take some time to reflect on all you’ve accomplished.
