Memorial Hermann Recognizes Employees Who Missed Graduation Due to COVID-19

During National Nurses’ Week, a graduation ceremony was held in the hospital’s conference center for 31 employees. Masks were worn and social distancing practiced, all but during a brief photo opp that traditional grads get to experience.
