WARSAW — In commemoration of Labor Day and in appreciation for the trades people working on the construction project and for hospital employees, a 20-foot by 30-foot flag was hoisted onto the wall of the Lutheran Kosciusko Hospital.

“Our dedicated employees serve thousands of patients each year, including those who come to our emergency room in dire need of help,” said Lynn Mergen, chief executive officer of Lutheran Kosciusko Hospital. “They will be there for you this holiday weekend, as they are every day of the year.”

“For many, Labor Day is a chance to enjoy the final days of summer but for construction workers, it’s also a celebration of an honorable profession that has had a tremendous impact on our country,” said Thomas Malony, project manager, The Walsh Group, the building contractor responsible for the leading the $30 million hospital project.
