"For the past 2 years, the entire staff at Milford Regional Medical Center has been engaged in a unique marathon of its own; battling a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic that has strained our healthcare system to the max. "Despite the never-ending arrival of incredibly sick patients and continual curve balls this virus has hurled our way, I've been inspired by the perseverance, dedication, and endurance of our staff," Hopkins said of his marathon run. The marathon was held for the first time since the beginning of the pandemic in October. You can see the 2021 results on the Boston Athletic Association website.
