The Woodlands Area EDP Honors Healthcare Workers
THE WOODLANDS, TX – The Woodlands Area Economic Development Partnership (EDP) launched a Stronger Together campaign in May to acknowledge and thank the heroes in various industries serving on the front lines during the COVID-19 pandemic. While local frontline healthcare workers continue to feel the impact of the pandemic daily and with no end in sight, it is more vital than ever that this campaign continue.
On Thursday, on behalf of the EDP Board of Directors and Partners, the economic development team delivered 7,500 multicolored bracelets embossed with the message “STRONGER TOGETHER” to CHI St. Luke’s Health The Woodlands Hospital, Houston Methodist The Woodlands Hospital, Kelsey-Seybold Clinic The Woodlands, Lone Star Family Health Center, MD Anderson Cancer Center The Woodlands, Memorial Hermann The Woodlands Medical Center, and Texas Children’s Hospital The Woodlands.
The campaign message is to serve as a daily reminder to the frontline healthcare workers that they are not alone, we are stronger together, and we can and will make it through this, united. The EDP challenges local area businesses to also support the hospitals and healthcare facilities throughout our community during this unprecedented time.
“We were inspired that this small token of appreciation was so warmly received by our community partners. It is important to raise the visibility of the critical work healthcare teams do by honoring our doctors, nurses, innovators, and leaders. With nearly 10,000 of them currently serving The Woodlands Area, healthcare remains our community’s leading industry sector.
Many are members of hospital staff, but many also serve in our smaller clinics and nursing homes to provide lifesaving services. We persist #StrongerTogether across our communities to create a healthier today and a brighter tomorrow,” said Mariana Almanza-Cook, Director of Business Retention & Expansion.
