Each year, Cottage Health hosts a Veterans Day celebration to honor active and retired veterans, providing a time to gather, reflect and express appreciation for their service. This year marked the 13th annual event and featured a traditional remembrance led by retired Colonel Kevin Nelson.

As we observe Veterans Day, we are grateful to all who have served and are proud to recognize the veterans at Cottage Health who continue that tradition of service every day.
