To celebrate the Holidays this year, the Department would like to initiate an effort to help some of the patients we care for by contributing to the Ronald McDonald House and the Diaper Drive (ongoing in the Pediatric Clinics through the efforts of Dr. Diane Pappas).
Instead of individual gifts, a donation to these organizations can be made in honor of a co-worker. Donations will be accepted through Friday, December 13, 2013.
Boxes will be available here:
- Pediatric Department Mailroom
- Pediatric HR area, Collins Wing (formerly Barringer) Room 2362
- Department Holiday Party, December 10, Pediatric Conference Room, 3rd Floor OMS Room 3906.
Diaper Drive
Contributions of cash or gift cards can be given. This will be less cumbersome than bringing in actual diapers, and Dr. Pappas can then obtain the correct size of diapers as needed.
