On Memorial Day 2020, Deptford Fire, Police and EMTs came to Deptford Center, the 240-bed nursing and rehabilitation center on Clements Bridge Road in the heart of Deptford, to salute the hard-working clinical staff at the facility. The nurses here work tirelessly to help keep the residents safe from the coronavirus pandemic and in the face of these dark times, Deptford Center took time out to remember the service men and women who laid down their lives to keep America safe and free.

We remember those brave souls today, as we work to save lives in the world of COVID-19,” said Paige Doumenis, Recreation Director at Deptford Center. “It’s fitting in many ways, and we all love our fellow Americans every day.”
