COVID-19 SPECIAL MOMENT – CELEBRATING MAJOR MILESTONES AT MACGREGOR DOWNS HEALTH & REHAB

This week’s COVID-19 special moment is from MacGregor Downs Health & Rehab in Greenville, North Carolina. On Sunday July 19th, family members held a socially distant birthday party for nursing home resident Debra Sermons. Her nephew drove all the way from Asheville to celebrate the occasion and introduce her to his 9 months old son Brooks, the newest member of the family! Hannah Jeffries (WITN) covered the event and can be viewed here. Thank you to Hal Garland, Administrator, for sharing this event!
