JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. – After 44 long days at Niswonger Children’s Hospital with the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) – much of it spent on a ventilator – a young patient named Conner had something to celebrate, along with his family and our team members. On Monday afternoon, Sept. 13, team members lined the hallway and cheered for him on his “victory walk” as he was discharged and moved on to the next phase of his recovery.
Conner’s discharge represents hope in a time that has often been filled with exhaustion, uncertainty and despair due to the COVID-19 case surge. We celebrate this huge step in his treatment and wish him the best as he continues his recovery!
