BATON ROUGE - On Friday morning, the Downtown Kiwanis Club is hosting a give-back event in honor of Louisiana's healthcare heroes. 

The group's traditional fundraising pancake breakfast, held annually, is going to be a little different this year. 

This Friday, the 70-year-old tradition will honor thousands of nurses, doctors, and other healthcare workers who've sacrificed time and energy to care for COVID patients since 2020. 

The Kiwanis are looking forward to cooking up thousands of pancakes for healthcare workers during Friday's private event.
