This video tells it all! I'm proud and honored to be an employee of Penn Medicine for 25 years. We have the best team throughout each facility, COVID showed that even more. Everyone was there for each other especially the patients. We will never forget the three years what everyone has been through, and I thank God for PENN MEDICINE and our great Drs. Nurses & Radiology Techs and all Employees of Penn Medicine for all your hard work.
