The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, January 24, 1996 13 . We Salute the pirit of People Caring le for the Valley with a Heart! En Through freezing cold, the Blizzard, rain, and then - The Flood of 1996, the true Spirit of our community is revealed again and again in its people. It’s the Spirit of people working together like family...friends and neighbors united as one to overcome all that Mother Nature has to give...and of the individual, whose concern, sense of responsibility and deeply felt compassion for others, reaffirms again and again that CI) this is indeed the Valley with a Heart. This is a special thank you to physicians, nurses, and hundreds of medical and support professionals, and to the paramedics, ambulance and community response teams that were responsible for and participated in the orderly evacuation and transfer of patients, medical supplies, equipment and valuable records to safer, more secure locations. And to those government and community agencies, military and civil services, municipal-authorities, school systems, media and business TT organizations, and individual volunteers who rallied to the support of people everywhere during this state of emergency. As we reflect on this past weekend's events, it’s important to note and acknowledge the genuine selflessness, professionalism, concern and age hard work extended by all members of the health care community to | patients and the community-at-large. We are especially proud of the Spirit of Caring demonstrated by hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of members of the Wyoming Valley Health Care System family. Dedicated individuals who worked together as one unified team, in spite of Mother Nature’s adversity, to provide the highest quality, compassionate health services to all patients. Thank You! John D.
