The Fredericksburg Regional Chamber of Commerce awarded area businesses for their successes, entrepreneurial spirit, and community commitment at the 31st Annual Awards and Gala held Friday, April 8, at the Fredericksburg Expo Center.
MWHC created a Field Hospital unit in anticipation of the crisis. Their employees work tirelessly to improve the people’s health in the communities they serve, which was evident throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. MWHC treated more than 6,000 COVID patients and administered more than 100,000 COVID tests. Once the vaccine became available, MWHC, for some time, administered 2,000 vaccines per day, with more than 212,000 doses given. 794 MWHC staff supported the vaccine clinic, and 437 community volunteers supported their efforts.
