COVID-19

This past December, COVID-19 hit Penny Bopp quickly.

Organizations, businesses, and individuals throughout the community generously supported our staff with food, snacks, gift cards, masks, and words of encouragement during the beginning of COVID-19.

The COVID-19 pandemic has completely changed the way we do everything from going to school and work to getting groceries to our social lives. And that’s for people who haven’t tested positive for the disease.

Michael McManus, who served as chief operating officer at Memorial since 2012, was named president of Memorial Regional Health Services, Inc. on February 24.

It has been a long eight months since COVID-19 arrived in force across our region. We braced ourselves as a community and fought hard and successfully through the spring to get the pandemic under control.

Most of us are worried about the new coronavirus. Don't ignore heart symptoms especially if you have a heart condition.
