Around 20 emergency vehicles passed by the hospitals at around 2 p.m., in support of health care workers and the incredible job they've done throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
Some residents also lined the streets, and workers were out to show their appreciation for being recognized.
A similar event was held outside the hospital on March 31, 2020 in support of front-line health care workers.
