More than 100 messages of appreciation and Christmas greetings for the health-care personnel were displayed on the walls and windows of 91原创 Memorial Hospital鈥檚 main lobby.

The well-wishes came from the community after 91原创 Memorial Hospital Foundation launched a Shining Star initiative, inviting everyone to send in gratitude messages 鈥� either online or by mail, said the foundation spokesperson Terra Scheer.

The campaign, which started on Dec. 10, is open until Dec, 31 for the public to participate.

Current donors were mailed the card, while others can pick up a card from the information desk in LMH鈥檚 main lobby.

While the public was encouraged to send donations of any size along with the notes, it was not mandatory, explained Scheer.

鈥淚t [Shining Stars initiative] is about celebrating the staff and giving them some cheerful messages that will keep them going strong through the holiday season,鈥� she explained.

The foundation named the campaign Shining Stars to highlight the crucial role health-care workers are playing during these unprecedented times, said Sheer.

鈥淭hey are a lot of superstars out there鈥� a lot of movie stars but, here in our community 鈥� our health care workers 鈥� are our stars,鈥� Scheer added. Keeping that sentiment in mind, each card was designed with a star patch in which people can write their messages.
