Inside every handshake, every salute and every warm welcome home is a story of service, sacrifice and gratitude.
This week, OhioHealth was proud to sponsor Honor Flight Columbus Mission 150. It was an unforgettable experience for veterans as they traveled to Washington, D.C. to visit the memorials built in their honor, share stories and reflect on meaningful service.
From guardians who accompanied them on their journey to hundreds of community members, including nearly 100 OhioHealth associates who welcomed them home, this celebration reflected our shared commitment to compassion, respect and appreciation.
“It was so exciting to be part of this," said OhioHealth President and CEO Stephen Markovich, MD. "To recognize the veterans, many of whom are in the twilight of their lives, and they got to experience something they perhaps didn't get to experience when they first came back. I cannot tell you how many times today I shed a tear.”
We are honored to stand with those who served, not just on this day, but every day in support of our mission to improve the health of those we serve.
