Glen Cove’s leaders honor health care workers

City of Glen Cove Mayor Tim Tenke, and the members of the Glen Cove City Council, visited the six assisted living centers and nursing homes in the city to show their appreciation for health care workers by delivering lunches. They visited Emerge Nursing & Rehabilitation at Glen Cove, Glen Cove Center for Nursing & Rehabilitation, Glengariff Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center, The Regency at Glen Cove, Sunrise of Glen Cove and The Atria Glen Cove.

A letter was addressed to the employees of Glen Cove assisted living centers and nursing homes from the mayor and council members that said, “We hope this small token of our appreciation is enjoyed by all. Keep up the good work and know that we are all giving you a round of applause as we safely remain in our homes and keep you in our prayers knowing our families, neighbors and friends are in your good and caring hands. Stay safe.”

“You provide patients with comfort during their most vulnerable moments and you demonstrate incredible strength, courage and professionalism,” the letter went on to say. “This comes naturally to so many of you as it's simply part of who you are — and for that we are incredibly proud. Providing our community with a trusted, compassionate environment for care is of the utmost importance.”
