While the COVID-19 pandemic swept the nation, shutting down schools and all non-essential businesses, the effects could be seen and felt throughout the country, even in small communities such as Hoisington. With spring sports canceled, graduations postponed, numerous job layoffs, and the economic and financial struggles being felt on all levels, it can often be difficult to find the positive in these kinds of situations. However, especially in this part of Kansas, it’s important to remember that times of crisis bring out the best in people and inspire communities to come together (even if it’s 6 feet apart). Clara Barton Hospital and Clinics felt the outpouring of love and support firsthand as the community came together providing donations, supplies, and pure compassion amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
