SSM Health honored frontline workers Friday for their work during the pandemic, gathering gifts for staffers that included a picnic basket, gift cards, and a heartfelt letter. Volunteers put together around 1,500 hundred baskets for workers. "We've all been stressed and strained over the last year, but if you can imagine that in a healthcare setting and those who are on the frontline caring, it's so important to honor those folks who have done this and that's our 'why,'" said Paul Ross, president of the SSM Health Foundation.
