Thank You to Our Healthcare Heroes

To every Temple Health staff member who is working tirelessly to care for and support our patients: You are inspiring our city, our patients and each other in the fight against COVID-19.   

Temple is handling more COVID cases than any other hospital in the region. Your selfless dedication to serving our patients during this most trying of times demonstrates your commitment to the community and to this organization. 

All of Temple is tremendously proud of our #healthcareheroes — as is the entire greater Philadelphia region and beyond.

For this, we thank you. 

#TempleStrong
