Southwest Medical Center honors local veterans with community display

For the MVI

In honor of Veterans Day and as a heartfelt tribute to the men and women who have served our country, Southwest Medical Center has prominently displayed photos of nearly 60 local veterans at its Bentleyville and Charleroi locations.

At the Bentleyville facility, visitors will find a proud wall of recognition featuring the faces and names of those who have bravely served in the United States armed forces.

In Charleroi, the tribute extends both inside the medical center and outside on a digital sign, allowing the entire community to share in gratitude and respect.

These displays will remain in place throughout November, serving as a daily reminder of the courage, dedication and sacrifice of our local heroes.

Southwest Medical Center released a statement saying the company is honored to celebrate these individuals — not just for their service to our nation, but for the strength and leadership they continue to bring to local communities every day.

“At Southwest Medical Center, we believe in recognizing the people who make our communities strong,” Dr. Kamlesh Gosai said. “Our veterans represent the very best of us — their service, sacrifice and commitment inspire us all.”

Southwest Medical Center invites all patients, visitors and community members to take a moment this month to view the displays and reflect on the immense gratitude we owe our veterans. The center is proud to stand with those who have served and to continue supporting local heroes in every way we can.

Southwest Medical Center salutes all veterans — today and every day,” the statement reads. “Thank you for your service.”
