Christian Health Care Center hosts its fifth annual Heroes Day celebration from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 11.

The day is set aside to remember the sacrifices of Sept.11, 2001, and to honor and thank uniformed officials and service groups who support their communities, according to an event announcement.

“Heroes Day has developed into a multigenerational community event that we are so proud of,” said Catherine Ries-El Bara, CHCC’s administrator, in a press release. “People of all ages bring their patriotic spirits and help us show appreciation to those who protect and serve us all.”
