USPS to honor health workers
New stamp thanks those who treat, care for patients
The Postal Service has announced plans for a stamp that honors those workers who dedicate their lives to our health, safety and well-being — often at great personal risk.
The Thank You, Healthcare Community stamp will be released with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
The artwork will consist of health-related icons spelling out the stacked words “thank you” against a pristine white background. Running across the lower right edge of the stamp will be the words “Healthcare” in gray and “Community” in surgical green.
Bryan Duefrene is the art director and designer for the stamp, which will be sold in panes of 20.
The release date and dedication ceremony location will be announced later.
