Auxiliary donates $19,800 for HME vehicle

The Citizens Memorial Hospital Auxiliary recently donated $19,800 to Citizens Memorial Home Medical Equipment. HME purchased a cargo minivan to deliver and service power mobility equipment.

“We run a lot of service calls for power mobility equipment across a large geographic area. Our current vehicle was at its end-of-life with almost 300,000 miles,” said Jim Russell, HME director. “We appreciate the Auxiliary’s donation that allows us to provide exceptional service.”
