Cox Branson Honors First Responders With Lunch

The administration, doctors, and staff at Cox Medical Center Branson hosts their annual "Thank You" for First Responders last week.

This year, the event was a drive-thru with Cox personnel handing out the lunches plus giving any first responders that had not got a COVID-19 Vaccination yet a chance to do so. 

William Mahoney, president of Cox Medical Center Branson, tells Ozarks First why this event is so important to them:

“We’ve been doing this for over five years with first responders. If you recall back, five or six years ago, there started to be some negativity about things going on, and we didn’t want anyone to even doubt where we stood. You know, when you look at our first responders – police, fire, ems, they’re the social fabric of the safety net of our community and it’s important they know they are appreciated and respected. And I don’t want for one minute them to doubt that."

Other Cox Health Facilities will host similar events during the month of August.
