A hospital is more than a place where people go to heal, it is a part of the community that fosters health and represents hope. Hospitals are central to a healthy and optimistic community.

That is the message of the 2015 National Hospital Week theme “Where Miracles Happen Every Day.”

This theme is the centerpiece of a campaign aimed at uniting health care facilities across the country during the May 10 – 16 celebration.

“National Hospital Week, first and foremost, is a celebration of people,” said Lynn Heller, interim CEO of Bowie Memorial Hospital. “BMH is extremely proud of each member of our staff and we recognize the important role they play in extending a sense of trust to our patients and our community.”

An open house on May 12 will one of the week’s highlights at Bowie Memorial Hospital. The public is invited to attend from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to take part in the activities.
