Seahawks sending 4 local health care heroes to Super Bowl LV
The Seattle Seahawks have announced they will be sending four local health care heroes to Super Bowl LV this weekend in Tampa as a show of gratitude for everything they have done to help Washingtonians throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
All four are employees of Virginia Mason Franciscan Health, which is the Seahawks’ official health care partner:
Jocelyn Jacoby – Nutrition Assistant, Virginia Mason Medical Center
Cheryl Caraan, RN – Critical Care Nurse, Virginia Mason Medical Center
Bo Thach, RN – Registered Nurse, St. Joseph Medical Center
Lauren Pier, RN – Critical Care Charge Nurse, St. Anthony Hospital
In Tampa, the four heroes will join health care workers invited by other NFL clubs from across the country.
“As the NFL season culminates in Tampa Bay, we are thanking our health care heroes who have been on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic,” Peter O’Reilly, NFL Executive Vice President of Club Business and League Events, said via the press release. “We are honored to salute those who have demonstrated dedication, commitment and courage and deserve our deepest gratitude and admiration.”
In keeping with safety precautions, all health care workers attending Super Bowl LV will have received a COVID-19 vaccination before departing and all CDC and local guidelines will be enforced throughout the festivities.
