It was more than just a flag Door County Medical Center Telecommunications Specialist Jerry Burke carried with him during a run over the weekend. While completing the virtual Cellcom Green Bay Marathon, Burke carried a flag bearing the Door County Medical Center crest and messages of support from his coworkers. He hopes his small gesture of support for those working the front lines makes a big impact.

Burke’s flag-carrying is one of the examples of Door County Medical Center showing their support for their employees working during the pandemic. Dog parades and cards drawn by elementary school kids are just some of the other ways hospital officials have shown their thanks. Burke plans on carrying the flag again for his virtual editions of the Bellin Run and Crossroads Trail Run.
