The Fort Myers Police Department paid tribute to hometown healthcare heroes working during the coronavirus pandemic, forming a heart shape with squad cars outside the Lee Memorial Hospital on Thursday, April 16.

Officers stood in the center of the heart, holding letters that read, “FMPD Thanks You.” The Lee Memorial Hospital called the tribute a “special moment” of “front line heroes thanking other front line heroes.”

“We appreciate each of the hard working medical professionals and wanted to simply say thank you,” the police department wrote in a Facebook post. “It was a pretty amazing and personal turnout and we couldn’t be more proud to work side by side with you, Lee Health.”
