TEXAS -- While most of us are staying at home to keep ourselves and our community safe, many are wondering what they can do to help. 

  • "HeroCare" campaign created by St. David's HealthCare 
  • People encouraged to share campaign online, highly visible places
  • People also encouraged to hang holiday lights in honor of health care workers 

Thanks to a new campaign called HeroCare by St. David’s HealthCare, you can show health care workers just how much they are appreciated. The hospital released HeroCare posters that can be downloaded and shared either by printing them out or posting them on social media. 

“These men and women are suiting up every single day and they are soldiering to the front lines to respond to the greatest health emergency of our lifetime," said Denise Bradley, St. David's HealthCare vice president. "One of the most rewarding things for our health care providers to hear are positive patient stories."

Bradley encourages people to print the posters and put them in places where health care workers can see them en route to work.

"Just simply place them on the doors and windows of their homes, their businesses, on the windows of their cars, so that they can see, our health care givers can see that the community is rallying around them," she said.

On social media, Bradley asks people to use #HeroCare while telling stories of hope and encouragement. 

Additionally, the hospital is joining the trend of using holiday lights to help brighten the mood and is asking people to hang the lights in the shape of a heart for the health care workers. 

"We thought we would encourage people to put those in the shape of a heart so that when our health care workers see them, they know those lights are being displayed in honor of them," Bradley said. "One way to look at this is that they protect us with health care and we are going to honor them with HeroCare."
