On April 28, members of the Walpole, Westwood and Medfield Fire and Police Departments joined fellow first responders and took their vehicles out for a parade to thank healthcare staff at Norwood Hospital battling against COVID-19. Healthcare workers were greeted by the sight of people cheering them on from a safe distance away. Canton, Norfolk, Norwood, Mansfield, and Sharon Fire and Police Departments also participated in the well-wishing.
