Saying Thanks to Frontline Workers: Freebies and Discounts for Our Health Care Heroes

Written by Barry J Swaim, CFP ®, Posted in

These Companies Want to Thank You for Your Important Work

Healthcare workers have always been our nation’s undercover heroes, working tirelessly in the service of others without much celebration of that fact. The COVID-19 pandemic has shined a light on this work, however, throwing into sharp relief the bravery, selflessness, and heroism America’s healthcare workers display every day.

If you or someone you know works in healthcare, the below list was compiled to share the way many companies are saying thank you for this important, life-saving work: through freebies and discounts. We hope you’ll find something on this list that makes you smile during this challenging time.

Our Special Offer

Let’s start with what we here at Accruent Advisors would like to offer to anyone working in the medical field in the Winston-Salem area: a complimentary 30-minute session with one of our financial advisors.
