Stamp to Be Issued in Conjunction with
U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services
WASHINGTON, July 9,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Postal Service today
announced it will pay tribute to the health care community with a
new commemorative Forever stamp.
In conjunction with the U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services, USPS will recognize health care workers, who dedicate
their lives to protect our health, safety and well-being, often at
great personal risk.
The artwork consists of health-related icons spelling out the
stacked words "thank you" against a pristine white background.
Running across the lower right edge of the stamp are the words
"Healthcare" in gray and "Community" in surgical green.
Bryan Duefrene was the art
director and stamp designer.
The Thank You Healthcare Community stamp will be issued in panes
of 20. As a Forever stamp, it will always be equal in value to the
current First-Class Mail 1‑ounce price.
The official release date and stamp dedication ceremony location
will be announced later.
News of the stamp is being shared with the hashtag
#ThankYouHealthcareStamp.
