There was a celebration at Bluewater Health in Sarnia Friday.
One of the hospital's first COVID-19 patients was sent home after spending 31 days battling the virus.
81-year-old Alex Kapteyn, who was a driver for the Red Cross for many years, was greeted at the exit by cheering staff and a parade of honking support vehicles.
The hospital has posted a heartwarming video on its Facebook page.
