More than 350 flags pay tribute to veterans, active military through Flags of Honor program

Thanks to support for Penn State Health’s Flags of Honor program, more than 350 American flags were displayed at the entrances of our community hospitals from Memorial Day through July 15.

Employees, patients, families and community members purchased a small U.S. flag through the program to pay tribute to someone who had served or is currently serving in the military and chose the Penn State Health location where it would be displayed. Those honored, or their families, received an acknowledgement informing them of the tribute.

The $7,606 raised supports the purchase of medical equipment and technology at St. Joseph Medical Center and the greatest needs at Lancaster, Hampden, Hershey and Holy Spirit medical centers.

Members of Penn State Health’s Military and Veteran Business Employee Resource Group organized, supplied and placed the flags at the hospitals.
