On June 17, a parade led by Katy-area first responders saluted front-line health care workers at Texas Children’s Hospital West Campus, according to an email from Veronika Javor-Romeis, a senior public relations specialist for the hospital.
Staff from the hospital lined a path as the parade marched, per the email. Participating first responders included the Katy Police Department, Harris County Emergency Services District No. 48, the Harris County Sheriff's Office, the Westlake Fire Department and the Community Volunteer Fire Department.
Additionally, on June 4, Memorial Hermann Katy Hospital celebrated 16 employees who graduated with new degrees, said Drew Munhausen, senior media relations representative with Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center, in an email.
"While most graduation ceremonies were cancelled, Memorial Hermann Katy Hospital hosted a personal graduation ceremony," he wrote.
The staff who were honored included patient technicians who earned nursing degrees as well as the director of the emergency department, who received her doctorate degree.
The event was held on on the field of the Memorial Hermann Sports Park, per the email. The graduates sat on the field—socially distanced—while family members watched on the sidelines.
