DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., July 11, 2016 On June 9, Florida Hospital Memorial Medical Center employees donned neon yellow shirts and took to the streets to clean up the community.
They collected trash for 5.3 miles along Williamson Blvd., filling 43 large bags with trash from the street, sidewalk, creek and other terrains nearby.
Though street clean up may not be considered a traditional role of hospital staff, cleaning up and supporting the community is another way that Florida Hospital employees are able to extend the hospitals healing ministry of Christ beyond the facility's walls.
