Carle Health hosts Veterans Day ceremonies across central Illinois

(WAND) – Carle Health held three ceremonies on Wednesday at different hospital locations in Urbana, Peoria and Normal.

Each ceremony featured remarks by a Carle Health veteran team member, a flag raising and participation by color guards of the American Legion or Veterans of Foreign Wars.

Those who assisted with these ceremonies included Carle Military and Veteran Professionals, a Carle Inclusion Connection group and active-duty military, their families and allies.

Carle said the goal was to spotlight the impact of team members who are veterans and active service members to assist them with professional development opportunities and build camaraderie within the work community.

Carle also had flag raisings at hospitals in Hoopeston, Eureka, Pekin, Olney and another location in Peoria.
