Among the first group of providers in the state to receive the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, Summit Health began administering the COVID-19 vaccine to its frontline team members on December 22. As part of this historic immunization effort, CEO Jeffrey Le Benger, MD, and a diverse group of health care workers were among the first group of health care professionals to receive the vaccine.
