BOSTON (WHDH) - A parade of ambulances drove through parts of Massachusetts on Wednesday in celebration of National EMS Week and all of the health care workers on the frontline of the coronavirus pandemic.
The “Convoy of Champions,” which represented more than 2,000 health care workers, made its way from UMass Memorial Medical Center in Worcester to Fenway Park in a big show of support for the Bay State’s finest.
Given the unprecedented pandemic, this year’s ride is a little different than those held in years past.
But, to top off the celebration, friends, family members, nd even some local celebrities gave their thanks and gratitude to the thousands of paramedics, EMTs, and dispatchers who are helping in the fight against COVID-19 every day.
“I know you guys are working harder than ever. You’re showing the true spirit of teamwork. We’re all pulling for you, and thank you so much,” Red Sox star Dustin Pedroia said.
Each health care worker got to take home a special goody bag from the Boston Red Sox.
