A Letter From Our CEO
                             Light at the End of
                             a Challenging Year
     Erick Larson            LAST FEBRUARY, COVID-19 was something happening overseas. A year later,
                             everyone in our community and our state has felt the impact of the disease, even
                             if they have not gotten sick or lost a loved one.
                                Since March 2020, I’ve witnessed every single Huron Regional Medical
                             Center employee step up again and again and again. I know it hasn’t been easy,
                             but our team has continued to show up, day after day, and that speaks volumes
                             about this work being much more than a job. It truly is a calling – a calling to
                             serve others, even at the risk of your own life.
                                During this past year, I have been so thankful to be part of HRMC, as our staff
                             has shown the true heart they have for our patients. But I’m also grateful for the
                             support of our community and how quickly our city and county officials joined
                             forces with us to set up a call center and testing center – which then became a
                             model for others to follow. When the need arises, this community never fails to
                             respond and then remain resilient, and I’m so happy to live here.
                                But even as the number of vaccinations increases daily, we cannot take our eye
                             off the ball in the months to come. Everyone in the community must continue to
                             practice the basic safety measures that have gotten us this far. Wash your hands,
                             wear a mask, social distance and stay home when you’re sick.
                                There is hope on the horizon, and we’re all cautiously optimistic. HRMC
                             remains committed to compassionate care throughout these challenging times.
                             When I say take care of yourselves and take care of others, I truly mean it. We are
                             in this together – and we’re not done yet!
