HonorHealth employees assemble military care packages

Posted

HonorHealth doctors, nurses and staff came together at Scottsdale Osborn Medical Center to write letters and decorate military care packages for military members.

The packages will be filled with donated items and sent to military members by Packages From Home, a care package nonprofit that supports active duty, veterans and military K9s, according to a press release.

The inaugural Military Care Package Day event, which took place Friday, Oct. 11, was a culmination of a months long, employee-driven donation drive that brought in two entire truckloads of food, drinks, socks, treats, toiletries and hygiene items.

The event was just one of many ways that staff at the community-based hospital try to show their appreciation for military members and the sacrifices they make for America, a release states.

In addition to the hundreds of veterans who serve as doctors, nurses and staff members throughout the organization, HonorHealth has a long history of working closely with the military through its Military Partnership Program.

The program began in 2004 and has since trained more than 3,000 soldiers and airmen in trauma and deployment skills at the 7,500-square-foot training center on the HonorHealth Scottsdale Osborn Medical Center campus.

Scottsdale Osborn Medical Center is a civilian hospital in Arizona that offers military members comprehensive medivac training that includes real-world experience in a trauma center.
