At Wellstar MCG Health, we paused together last Thursday to honor the true meaning of Memorial Day and to remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. Joined by team members, veterans, and community partners, we reflected on the courage, selflessness, and dedication of those who gave their lives so others may live in freedom. We were grateful to the North Augusta High School JROTC for the presentation of colors and flag ceremony, the moving performance of Military Taps, our talented trio for their beautiful rendition of the National Anthem, and Wellstar MCG Health Lab Director and Army veteran Kellie Vinson for sharing a heartfelt commemorative poem.

At Wellstar MCG Health, service takes many forms, and every day our team members dedicate themselves to caring for others in moments of need. This Memorial Day, we pause to honor those whose service came at the ultimate cost and remember the heroes who never made it home.
