Mayor Sarno states, “I cannot thank AMR and their dedicated team enough for their unyielding efforts throughout this COVID-19 pandemic. Patrick Pickering and Patrick Leonardo have been great working with Health and Human Services Commissioner Helen Caulton-Harris and myself as we coordinated our joint efforts to mitigate and defeat this COVID-19 pandemic through strategic testing and vaccination clinics. Special thanks to MGM Springfield’s Chris Kelley and his team for putting this special thank you event together – the first of many to come to thank our brave and dedicated first responders. I am looking forward to joining them again in the future as we continue to show our appreciation and thanks to all those who have gone above and beyond throughout this COVID-19 pandemic.”
