COVID-19 has caused many people to cancel big plans. However, the staff at Bon Secours St. Francis Downtown Greenville didn’t let it derail one couple’s big day. David Lee Nelson, a stage 4 colon cancer patient, was hospitalized the week before his wedding day, right when hospitals were going on lockdown. So nurses went out of their way to arrange a different kind of ceremony so he and his bride-to-be, Jaimie Malphrus, could still tie the knot. The newlyweds are now back at home and doing well.

We are so grateful to our #RVA communities who continue to reach out about donating supplies to our teams on the frontlines. Last week, Spectrum Paint donated 88 cases containing over 1,700 N-95 respirator masks to Bon Secours! Thank you!! For additional information about how you can help, visit the link in our bio.

As we reflect on this National Doctors’ Day, we offer these words of prayer in gratitude and appreciation for the incredible commitment and sacrifice our physicians and care teams show each and every day.

Today is a National Doctors’ Day unlike any other. You have put our community and our patients before your own families. You have worked tirelessly and poured your heart and soul into the care of others when our country needs it most. Thank you will never be enough.

Courage where there is fear. Comfort where there is pain. Hope where there is despair. You are the lifeblood of our communities in this time of great uncertainty. THANK YOU.

We appreciate the incredibly generous offers from individuals and organizations looking to donate supplies to us in support of our COVID-19 response efforts. Head to the link in our bio to see how you can help. Thank you for the outpouring of support for our frontline teams during this time.
