Holiday ceremonies have taken on greater meaning amid the pandemic. Whether it be lighting the Christmas tree or the menorah, this year communities gathered to celebrate the holidays despite COVID-19. The ceremonies were displays of hope, unity, and perseverance as 2020 comes to an end.
Bayonne Medical Center held its Christmas tree lighting on Dec. 16. Hosted by Chief Hospital Executive Dr. Vijay Singh, it honored various healthcare workers as well as those who have lost their lives to COVID-19.
Three healthcare heroes were honored with commemorative benches near the hospital, including McCabe Ambulance Chief Mike McCabe, Madeline LoRe, and Dan Kane. LoRe is the founder of the Madeline Fiadini LoRe Foundation. Kane is well-known for helping Bayonne Medical Center keep its doors open.
