About the Stamp

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the USPS will recognize the health care community, including physical therapists and physical therapist assistants, for their dedication to protecting our health, safety, and well-being, often at great personal risk.

The stamp 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.

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 one‑ounce price.
