I can't express how grateful I am for our healthcare professionals and those on the front lines. Thank you for staying strong and taking great care of our community. It's truly inspiring to have role models such as yourselves helping the world in a time of crisis. This pandemic has been hard on all of us, especially our public health heroes. What you do is amazing and I hope you're able to see just how much you're positively impacting the world.

Even as mask mandates slowly ease, the resurfacing from the start of the pandemic to now has not once been an easy task to take on. No one has faced the realities of the pandemic as continuously than healthcare providers, as well as anyone in a position that contributes to hospitals. Openly risking yourself every single day to a virus that has taken so many people is a mental and physical burden. With the hardships these tasks come with, simple applaud itself does not suffice even half of what medical professionals should be compensated with. The hard work you put into your work doesn't go unnoticed! Thank you so much for your bravery, commitment, and everything else you do!

As cliche as this sentence is, there are no words that can adequately thank you for the things you sacrifice and risk on a day-to-day basis for the health of individuals who are, most of the time, completely unbeknownst to you. It is of compassion, consideration, and the many qualities you have that shape both the present and future of the healthcare field. You are important and serve as a hero, advancing humanity biologically. Combating the many initial difficulties of a career in health and the unprecedented struggles from COVID-19 is not a job just anyone can do. You are worth more than you know. The hardships you face are greatly commended. Thank you!

We have been able to rely on you and those on the front lines in the face of a lack of knowledge, uncertainty, and dread. Our city appreciates your professionalism and dedication in the face of a challenging task. I appreciate your dedication and service. Although public health is frequently a behind-the-scenes activity, I want you to know that the results of your efforts are visible and heard in my everyday life. We sincerely appreciate all of your efforts to keep us safe! Thank you, and keep up the good work!

I am incredibly grateful to all of the men and women who have volunteered their time, effort, and passion to help combat COVID-19 around the world. Without the wonderful health-care providers with whom we've had safe encounters for nearly two years, we wouldn't have gotten this far. You not only protected us, but you also protected the rest of the city. You're putting your own family's safety and health on the line to save others. Thank you for being so brave!!!

First and foremost, I would like to thank the healthcare professionals and frontline workers for pushing through this pandemic. Your strength and hard work definitely do not go unrecognized by the community as well as people around the globe. It is truly inspiring for children around the world to have an inspiration model like all of the healthcare workers who are willing to risk their lives. I hope that you are able to see that your selfless efforts have contributed to positively impacting the lives of many people and have brought us closer to ending this pandemic. Wishing you all nothing but the best to continue fighting!

Dear health care professionals,

There is not enough gratitude to give you all for the amount of hard work and dedication that you put into doing your jobs. This pandemic has definitely been hard for all of us, especially for healthcare workers. It has made me realize how thankful I am for healthcare professionals and frontline workers who put their lives at risk on the daily. I cannot even imagine how our community would be able to fight through this pandemic without you guys. Thank you so much for all that you do for our community.

Thank you for your continuing dedication and hard work under adverse circumstances in an environment that is more difficult than it has to be. Whenever I walk into a pharmacy to get a free vaccination for a disease that did not even exist until recently, I remember how many people worked together to make this possible. I hope that you are rightly proud of your hard-fought achievements, and that your service will provide inspiration for others to tackle difficult problems that we are facing.

You guys are truly the backbone of society. Thank you so much for all your hard work and tireless dedication to your patients. We really appreciate everything you do. Don't forget to take care of yourselves too. No amount of thanks could sufficiently describe our gratitude towards you.

Thank you so much for all that you do and your impact on the community! Although there are long workdays, we appreciate your hard work and sacrifices and cannot thank you enough! Keep doing what you do best, and we all support you!

As a medical practitioner I had the privilege of interacting with patients within the four corners of the hospital wall. As a public health professionals, I have been given a greater privilege to make a difference on not just a patient at a time but the community at large.

Thus, I want to unite my voice with everyone to say thank you to all our public health professionals, the unseen hands behind the pandemic, endemic, and epidemic scene.

The message is very simple but very deeply appreciative of every moment you spend to make huge impact on the community in many diverse ways.

Without you guys there is no answer to the pandemic. Thank you for your energy and commitment!

We couldn't have gotten through so far without the wonderful health care workers we've interacted safely with during almost two years. From skin cancer, to hand surgery, to wound care... everyone of the Healthcare staff kept us safe from covid while providing great care. We thank you. Thanks too for the Covid vaccinations. We are not invincible but are more protected. With Aloha

Thank you so much-I wish I could know all of you and thank you for every act. You inspire myself and others.

To all of our public health colleagues - your work is so incredibly important and impactful! We thank you for your time, your talent and your unwavering commitment to promoting health and protecting the health of our communities. THANK YOU!

Thank you for being a part of the solution in a time of crisis.

As a physician I have always led a comprehensive medical team which rendered the highest quality of care resulting in improved health outcomes for underserved pediatric populations but working in Public Health during the height of COVID has been one of the most rewarding accomplishments of my career. The Public Health Department sets the standard for the community and works tirelessly to insure the health needs of the community are met. Thank you to all the employees of HHD, HCPD, and FBCHD for sacrificing and doing the difficult work of educating the public during the constant changing pandemic of COVID 19.

Thank you for all that you do.

I am elated to say that I am very grateful and tremendously thankful for all the men and women who have sacrificed their time, efforts and dedication to assist in the fight against COVID-19 all around the world.
YOU ALL ROCK!

Thank you so much to all of our public health professionals, both experienced and new, that have worked diligently during the pandemic to ensure the safety of so many lives! Your work is so vital and should be celebrated, not only just today but for the future as well! Wishing you all the best and continued successes.

Thank you, Public Health Heroes, and to my fellow Public Health team. It has been an honor and humbling experience to join the CDC Foundation’s mission and critical work in the COVID-19 response. Public health works often go unnoticed, especially a behind the scene epidemiologist digging in the data each day, but during this pandemic response, it couldn’t be more visible and vital. Let’s continue the work. And, thank you CDC Foundation for the opportunity to serve during an important time in history. God bless,

For all that we do, accept, and fight for. Our public health passion is why we do, what we do.

We are indebted to you each and every day. Your work makes our communities safer and healthier. Many thanks!

We can't thank you enough for making public health your passion, your purpose and your priority. Our communities and our world are better because of the caring commitment of professionals like you. Continued blessings for your service to mankind.

All the best to the FCBOH COVID team, who hit the ground running from the onset of the pandemic! You guys rock!!! You’re brave, strong, resilient and you are the best! You took care of the community once again…love you guys!

Thank you for all your enduring, loving, difficult work to save lives, educating the public on how to be healthy, and show up over and over, even in the face of ignorance and hateful rhetoric to do your jobs to save our nation. There should be a National Public Health Veterans Day! I am honoring Kansas City Health Department workers in Kansas City Missouri. I am retired and used and continue to use my MPH in Health Behavior-Health Education, as an advocate for public health, while I ran a business for 30 years, and now.

Thank you for keeping our city safe. We appreciate all of the sacrifices that you make each day and the love and care that you exhibit for your patients. It takes a special person to be a healthcare provider and I am so thankful for every healthcare provider in our city. Your hard work is not forgotten.

Thank you for being HEROES!! Your service is not going unnoticed.

Thank you for all that you do. You are a blessing. Stay safe.

Thank you for all that you do! The love, care, and patience you show goes a long way. Please take care and stay safe!

Thank you so much for all you do each and every day! Your efforts to make a world a safer place do not go unnoticed. Praying for all of you!

Your care and hard work is so much appreciated. My Family's thoughts and prayers are with you and all the health professionals, front line workers taking care of our community each and every day. You truly make an impact on a daily basis. Thank you.

We are all so very grateful for your tireless efforts during the pandemic. Thank you!

Thank for saving lives. Without y’all we wouldn’t get back to normal and thank you for taking care of us when we need it. Y’all are the best.

Thank you Gail and Mimi for continuing to serve our county, even though the bullies have shown their ignorance and intolerance. Your guidance thus far has been tremendous and I want to make sure you know that there are thousands of women in our community who have your backs. Your courage and service is overwhelmingly applauded by the majority of our County. I am in awe of you both and am deeply grateful to you for your stellar guidance as we move into a new normal. Thank you so very much. Ann Simonton Chair of CPVAW ❤️❤️❤️

I see how our local health department pours their hearts into their efforts to keep our community safe. I am so grateful for all you do. It does not go unnoticed or unappreciated. Thank you!❤️

Hi Healthcare heroes! Thank you for all your service through these tough times. I have seen how stressful you all are and the sacrifices you made throughout the year. We are blessed to have such a relentless group of healthcare team to take care of us all. You are doing such an awesome job. Can't wait for this all to be over. Hang tight and the light at the end of the tunnel is already visible. Thanks to the vaccines. Stay safe and stay strong.

Dear US, World Scientists, and those who serve those suffering with the virus:
I want you all to know how much you are each individually thought about in my prayers everyday. Thank you for your miraculous skills in developing a covid vaccine. It is truly amazing to me how you managed to get together, and stay focused on this most life saving process of developing this lifesaving vaccine. Amidst all the fears of the world seeing this virus spread at exorbitant speed, you pushed on to get the task at hand completed. Thank you all! You sacrificed, persevered, and got the job done. I am so thankful and so blessed and comforted knowing you were out there doing what needed to be done to get to where we needed to be. I believe we are moving in the right direction at lightning speed. Forever grateful!
Jackie

I want to Thank and Honor Mrs. Gina White Asburry , for SAVING My Life. She is My HERO. I am alive today because she was a First Responder. And took the Time to Save my life.

Thank you for your tireless efforts to keep our community members and family healthy. You are sacrificing the safety and health of your own family to save others. You are HEROES! Blessings.

Through a long year of battling a pandemic, thank you for persevering. Hopefully, this is finally meeting its end within the next few months and that your burdens lighten soon.

Stay strong and thank you for your work!

A heartfelt thanks for all your efforts :) It inspires each and every one of us to contribute in whatever little way we can. You'll are the true superheroes!

I thank you all for your unselfish act of stepping up and caring for the corona victims at great risk to you. I am also a nurse and worked in Boston during the polio epidemic in the late 1958 or about that and lived thru it all to a very old age and so I know the risk. I pray you will all come thru this plague as I did so many years ago and it is with great admiration and understanding that I pray for you all now.

We appreciate the hard work of everyone in Healthcare today! All the doctors and nurses but also the less visible heroes that are providing cleaning in the hospitals and labs or serving meals. We celebrate the advances in science that have delivered a vaccine in months vs. years! We hope all the heroes remain safe till we can vanquish the worse of this virus.

Thank you so much evryone who has worked on the front lines. I mean all essential workers and everyone who has been working during the Covid Pandemic. I thank you teachers, doctors, nurses, pharmacists, cashiers, grocery store workers, mail men, people at Amazon, and UPS and Fedex. I thank anyone else who I didn't list who is an essential or front line worker. This pandemic would be much much harder without your constant work and bravery.

Thank you to all who have been diligently working during this pandemic. Your efforts, dedication, hard work are greatly appreciated!! May God bless and keep you!

From the daughter of a nurse, I would like to send you all of my gratitude and appreciation for all the hard work you all have done. You guys put smiles on others while trying to keep yours, and I find that inspiring. Thank you all so much!

You have done so much for us this year, thank you for everything!
