PARKERSBURG -- United Bank has partnered with 15 hospitals across its service area and provided ice cream treats to health care workers at the front of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.

The sweet treats are a token of the bank's appreciation "for the hard work these health care providers have put in during this time," the bank said.

"At United, we value the health and safety of the communities we serve. We wanted to show our thanks and give some encouragement to those that continue to provide such remarkable care to our customers, families and friends every day."
