MONTOURSVILLE, Pa. — Valley View Rehab and Nursing Center in Montoursville wants to recognize all the residents who died in 2020. The nursing center planted a memorial garden across the campus to remember the 80 lives that were lost to both COVID-19 and other complications during the lockdown.
"Through COVID, we needed something to do that we could memorialize folks so we could all heal. It was important for everyone to heal, families, the residents who still remain, and the staff," said Michele Brague of the Valley View Nursing Center.
