Workers at Lower Bucks Hospital came out to a surprise last Saturday morning.
Neighbors and children of health care workers hung posters from the railings at the Bristol Township hospital with words of encouragement and upbeat messages.

“We are incredibly humbled and honored by the support of our community,” said Michelle Aliprantis, the hospital’s regional director of business development, marketing, and communications. “This is a very difficult time for our frontline staff, and the signs made their day a little brighter with their generosity.”
Nurses finishing their shifts in the hospital’s emergency department were greeted by the show of support during the COVID-19 outbreak.
“It’s greatly appreciated and we cannot thank our community enough,” said Rebecca Deuchar, Lower Bucks Hospital’s emergency room director. “Our nurses and staff are coming in during difficult times, because they care for our community, they’re doing what’s right to extend our mission, and caring for the people around them”. “The show of support, back to the staff, is immeasurable, and it goes to show the heart of what this community is all about.”

The signs follow other shows of support, including signs and meals, for nurses at St. Mary Medical Center and Jefferson Bucks Hospital.
Recently, a Croydon family put up a display to give inspiration as essential workers pass their home.

“None of us know how the next few weeks or months will look, but the signs of inspiration goes a long way,” said Aliprantis.
