Workers on the floor dealing with COVID-19 cases held up a
giant heart to show their appreciation for the parade. |
"It was great to look up at the windows and see them in the windows waving," said Warner.
Warner said about 40 cars lined up in front of the Post Office High Street. Witnesses said the line of vehicles stretched west about a block, past Little Italy restaurant.

There was no shortage of signs to make the reason
for the drive-by plan to hospital workers.

Warner said after the event had concluded.
The 7 p.m. drive-by was not the only treat for hospital workers Wednesday. At about 3 p.m., another group of five motorcycles and 20 vehicles, many of them muscle show cars, made a pass as well.

"We met up at the outlets in Limerick, keeping six feet apart and maintaining social distancing," said Murphy.
"Then we went over to Sanatoga Center, then cut over to Route 724 and visited Manatawny Manor, then over to the hospital and up Charlotte Street to ManorCare," Murphy said Wednesday evening.

At Pottstown Hospital, the shifts change at 7 p.m.
"We wanted to hit the smaller facilities too, because they're all fighting the same fight," said Murphy.
"It's all very uplifting," said Chanelle Petro, who is working on Pottstown Hospital's third floor, which has been designated as the floor for coronavirus patients.
"My mom, my grandmother, my son and his girlfriend were all part of this," she said of the 7 p.m. event.
"It brings tears to my eyes," she said.
That is also true of the work Petro is doing.

"It really made me feel appreciated," said Ebony Hall, who works in housekeeping with Danielle Davidheiser and Lori Chestnut.
All three came out to see the 7 p.m. drive-by.
"We really appreciate all the support everyone is showing," said co-worker Lori Fox.
"It really made me smile," said Fox. "You just can't see it behind my mask."
