CNC Collects Health Care Uniforms
Sunday, September 29, 2013 @ 4:48 AM
Prince George, B.C. – Health professionals are again being asked to donate their gently used uniforms, which will then be sold with proceeds supporting CNC’s Making a Difference bursaries for health sciences students.
The lightly-scrubbed scrubs drive is organized by CNC nursing instructor Nancy Esopenko, who co-ordinated four successful drives in 2011 and 2012. “It makes a huge difference in the lives of students and it gives health professionals a way to give back,” said Esopenko. “The students are very grateful to those who help fund their education.”
So far, $2,500 has been awarded to students who have demonstrated professionalism and community dedication.
Collection bins have been set up at three drop-off locations – CNC’s library, Lakewood Dental and the Spirit of the North Health Care Foundation office at University Hospital of Northern BC. Any health professional can donate their scrubs. They must be washed, in good shape and recyclable for others to use.
The donated uniforms will be sold for $5 each on Oct. 7th in CNC’s Gathering Place (the former atrium) from 9:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.
