AUBURN â For more than two months, the United Way of DeKalb County and other local nonprofit groups have been discussing a way to recognize local medical professionals for the dedication they have shown in protecting the community during this pandemic.
The United Way COVID-19 Task Force awarded a $15,000 COVID-19 Phase II Grant to the Parkview DeKalb Foundation for co-worker support programs.
Throughout the pandemic, the Parkview DeKalb Hospital team has gone above and beyond to care for the community, at times creating a physical and mental strain, the United Way said. A portion of the moneys was used to create what became known as âJolly Trolleyâ carts, which are stocked with gifts and snacks and wheeled around the hospital to share with co-workers.
