After opening Saturday Night Live on Oct. 7 with a message of hope and a performance, Jason Aldean returned to Las Vegas with wife Brittany on Oct. 8, exactly one week after a lone gunman killed 58 people and injured more than 500 while Jason was performing at the Route 91 Harvest Festival on Oct. 1.

Jason and Brittany visited Las Vegas’ University Medical Center of Southern Nevada, meeting patients who were injured during the shooting.

Brittany shared a photo on Instagram with the caption: “Feels surreal being back in Vegas today. Visiting some of the strongest people we have ever met… fighting the toughest battle of them all… for their lives. You have helped us try to begin the healing process by seeing the strength each one of you have. Thank you for today. We will never forget. #vegasstrong 🙌🏼”

In addition, University Medical Center of Southern Nevada posted a photo of Jason and a message on their Facebook page: “Our extreme gratitude to Country Music Star Jason Aldean for visiting UMC today. Jason spent time with our patients who were critically injured during the Las Vegas shooting. His visit helped heal hearts and cheer those who were wounded in this tragedy. #vegasstrong.”
