Coloradans asked to keep holiday lights up to support health care workers
Colorado residents, businesses and cities are being asked to keep up their holiday lights until Jan. 31 to show support for the state’s health care workers fighting against the COVID-19 pandemic.
HealthONE Colorado joined the national “Keep Your Lights Up for Healthcare Heroes” campaign Monday, asking Coloradans to spread the message by posting thank you messages and light photos with #LightsUp4Heroes.
“Holiday lights provide an emotional boost to everyone who sees them,” HealthONE said in a statement. “As they drive to or from their shift, the holiday lights will express support to our healthcare heroes.”
The city of Aurora has already committed to leaving the holiday lights on the Aurora Municipal Campus until Jan. 31 in support for the campaign.
The city and county buildings in Denver will leave their lights up until at least Jan. 24, as part of an annual city tradition to leave lights up until the end of the National Western Stock Show.
The health care hero campaign was originally inspired by this Denver tradition.
“Our health care heroes have been fighting this virus for nine months,” HealthONE said. “They are weary from the physical and emotional toll of what they see every day.”
“A small gesture means the world.”
