ORMOND BEACH, Fla., March 20, 2018 On March 18, Florida Hospital Memorial Medical Center employees met at the Andy Romano Beachfront Park in Ormond Beach to remove trash from the park grounds and along the beach.
Over a span of two hours, the hospital employees cleaned a two-mile section of the beach and collected 175 pounds of trash, including two fence posts and a car axle, as well as lots of plastic and cigarette butts.
Though a beach clean-up may not be considered a traditional role of hospital staff, cleaning up and supporting the community is another way that Florida Hospital employees are able to extend the hospitals healing ministry of Christ beyond the facility's walls.
