Amanda Roberts, director of the White River Health System (WRHS) Foundation, called into the White River Now studios this week to discuss the upcoming “Light It Up with Hope & Courage” prayer service and ceremony that will be held Friday, April 10, at the East Entrance parking lot of White River Medical Center (WRMC). The event begins at 8 p.m. Vehicles will begin arriving between 7:30 p.m. and 7:45 p.m.
Roberts told White River Now’s Big Daddy Randy the service is an opportunity for the community to show support for health care workers on the front lines of fighting cornoavirus.
