As healthcare workers continue their battle on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic many people are finding ways to show them that they are appreciated.
The residents of Vintage Cooperative senior living community in Coralville make their way to the balcony outside their rooms every night and bang on pots and pans and ring bells to show their support for everything health care workers are doing.
It also provides a chance for visiting with neighbors. "It felt very isolating and just this one thing that we do together every day gives you a chance to see your neighbors, see that they're OK, say hi, say have a good night,” resident Terry Boles tells KCRG-TV 9. “I think it brought us closer together as a community."
Boles says they will keep doing this until the pandemic is over.
