Flyover tribute for Tenet Health Central Coast

PASO ROBLES, Calif. - Employees and staff at Tenet Health Central Coast had a personal flyover on Wednesday.

It honored Twin Cities Community Hospital and Sierra Vista Regional Medical Center as part of National Nurses Week and National Hospital Week observances.

Freedom Flight at the Estrella Warbird Museum in Paso Robles flew World War II-era airplanes.

The formation was personal as it was led by Tenet Health Central Coast CEO Mark Lisa.

"I was fortunate to be asked to fly among the Freedom Flight team and to be able to show my appreciation and respect for all that the Tenet Health Central Coast team does for our communities - not just this week, or during a crisis, but every day," said Lisa

The tradition of a flyover dates back to before the 1920's as a ceremonial or honorific flight to show respect for those on the ground. The theme of the Freedom Flight team was "America Strong" to honor doctors and nurses during Hospital Week.
