VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — Virginia Beach-based Operation Smile is expressing its gratitude for all medical staff and volunteers continuing to work to make sure patients receive the care they need and deserve amidst the coronavirus pandemic.

The organization launched a "Thank You" campaign on Monday, coinciding with National Doctor's Day.
