OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) — Celebrating your birthday in a hospital can put a damper on celebrations but staff members at CHI Health took the time to make a COVID-19 patient feel special on her big day.

One of their patients by the name of Margaret had to celebrate her 100th birthday in the hospital. Staff wanted her to feel special so they decorated her room and got her a shirt that said "I turned 100 and all I got was this COVID-19 shirt."

Staff posted a picture of Margaret wearing the shirt and said she beat the virus as well.
