Ontario flyover honors health care workers

ONTARIO, Ore. — The Oregon Air National Guard conducted a flight over Saint Alphonsus in Ontario to honor health care workers.

The pilots made the trip from Klamath Falls, flying over the Saint Alphonsus facility earlier Friday afternoon.

"It means a lot to us as nurses to see the supports for the community, to the citizens that drove by and honked, the people that are parked across the street. It is fantastic," said Anna Larosa, Saint Alphonsus Emergency Services manager.

This is national nurses week so we want to hear from you about the nurses in your life that inspire you.

Send us a picture of your favorite nurse, or a message of gratitude for all the work they do to (208) 321-5614.
