Caregiver Comedy Break

The Giving Coast

Caregivers at Doctors Hospital of Sarasota got a comedy break recently. Local comedians Les McCurdy and Al Ernst did quick sets for employees during their lunch breaks.

Bonefish Grill donated the lunch. It was hard to see, but there were lots of smiles behind the masks.
