UPMC Cole joined the community once again this year to thank our local veterans for the sacrificesthey have made for our glorious freedom. This event, which is kicked off by the Project HealingWaters Parade (more information inside), was established in 2017 by the Cole Foundation.Donations are made to the Cole Foundation in honor or memory of a veteran. Each gift wasacknowledged with a specially designed card to the person who was honored, or to the family ofthe memorialized, and an American flag was placed on the UPMC Cole campus. “There are so many ways the Cole Foundation helps the patients and families at UPMC Cole but Ihave to say that this small gesture is the one I am most proud of being a part of. To look at thecampus and to see hundreds of flags, it brings me to tears every year. My hope is always that ourveterans see that others care about them, love them and appreciate everything they have done forthis country.” Executive Director, Andrea Streich. Thank you to those in this community that supported this event and helped UPMC Cole say, “Thank you!”
