South Jersey woman looks forward to Christmas with family after harrowing health ordeal (CAMDEN, N.J.---Dec. 16, 2021) In what many would describe as a holiday miracle, Joanne Masciocchi has returned home after spending eight months in various hospitals and care facilities. The 65-year-old Berlin, N.J., resident entered Virtua Voorhees Hospital on April 13 with severe COVID-19, and was ultimately discharged from the rehabilitation unit within Virtua Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Camden on December 2. Joanne’s 233-day hospital stay is far longer than usual for COVID-19 patients. And those with such severe illness typically don’t survive. “It’s hard to get the words out.
