County
Executive Steve Neuhaus is showing his Christmas spirit by delivering cards to
hospital residents, staff and nursing homes.
One of
his delivery locations includes the Highland Rehab Nursing Home in Middletown.
Neuhaus
says the initiative is a great way to cheer up residents, patients and staff.
"I've
heard this from nurses - We go into the break room. It's been a tough day. And
we see this card written in crayon from a barely legible kid. It builds up
their spirits,” says Neuhaus. “They know they're doing the right thing.”
Over
1,800 Christmas cards were collected over the past week and distributed to 17
assisted living facilities, nursing homes, and the county’s four hospitals.
