“Our final patient from the Uvalde shooting, 10-year-old Mayah Zamora, was discharged!

“She passed out roses and left in style thanks to HEB.”

“She is our hero and we can’t wait to see all she accomplishes in the future!” the hospital added.

Mayah survived the horrific school shooting on May 24th, 2022.
