A recent surge in local and regional COVID-19 cases has brought pressure and stress to one local hospital. And there’s a unique way people can help.
Chris Jung, marketing and events coordinator for Jennie Stuart Health, notes that weekends have been particularly difficult for staff as of late — as the hospital’s cafeteria is only open on weekdays.
With staff overwhelmed, leaving the premises for breakfast, lunch and dinner breaks isn’t optimal.
As such, Jung says any restaurants, churches, organizations or families are welcome and encouraged to bring meals — preferably individually-boxed — this upcoming weekend, and perhaps some future weekends ahead, as COVID-19 testing and treatment continues to beleaguer staff.
Any businesses wishing to sponsor a meal are certainly welcome to do so, as Jennie Stuart Health has nearly 100 employees working on the weekends.
To make contact, message Jung privately on Facebook, or email him at cjung@jsmc.org.
