Yesterday, we came together to honor the lives lost during the COVID-19 pandemic and to celebrate the courage and compassion of our healthcare professionals who stood strong for our community. With the unveiling of our new Memorial Waterwall, we now have a peaceful space for reflection—a place to remember loved ones and carry their stories forward as part of our shared legacy.

This beautiful monument was donated in loving memory of Donna Zarba Swartzfager, a longtime East Jefferson General Hospital team member who embodied a sense of community and thought of everyone here as a family. We are deeply grateful to the Swartzfager family for their generosity and for helping us create a space that will bring comfort and connection for years to come. ❤️
