Two years after he was in a coma and on a ventilator, Jeff Dillard returned to the hospital to raise a Wawa iced tea to the people who saved his life. “I’m thankful for every day.”

Jeff Dillard poses with members of the team at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania that cared for him during the COVID-19 pandemic. “I’ll never forget it,” he told them.

“There was a gentleman that he told me, ‘Well, when you get through all of this, I will make sure you get your Wawa tea,’” Dillard recalled. “The first couple years of COVID were such a vulnerable time for us as health-care workers,” said Olenik, also an assistant professor of hospital medicine at the Perelman School of Medicine at Penn. “Jeff, your gratitude helped lift us up, and your story gave us hope. We’re so glad that you’ve made a full recovery, and thank you for bringing us together.”
