Methodist Hospital also thanked the operators of Park Tavern for hosting a private remembrance for hospital staff Wednesday.

“We’re fortunate to have a long-standing relationship with Park Tavern,” a statement from the hospital read. “The restaurant started delivering free meals to our colleagues during the COVID-19 pandemic. The show of support and kindness has continued after the pandemic, delivering their 10,000th meal to team members this summer.”
