Globally minded
Recently, AAMC donated a shipment of surplus
equipment and supplies to Global Links, a
medical relief and development organization
in Pittsburgh that provides necessary medical
equipment to needy communities around the
world. The supplies donated are not expired or
recalled; they are items AAMC no longer uses,
for various reasons, that cannot be sold back
to the vendors. Items donated included more
than 2,800 scrubs, safety syringes, operating
room gowns, IV poles, CPR boards, hair nets,
stretchers, and cribs.
Marathon medals given to
kids with chronic illnesses
Running a marathon takes patience, perseverance
and practice. Crossing the finish line and receiving
a medal is the ultimate victory for runners.
Through a charity called Medals4Mettle and
local business Charm City Run, hundreds of
runners took their hard-earned medals and gave
them away to children who are bravely battling
serious illnesses at AAMC.
Not every marathon is the same, but it takes the
same qualities to win.
Interested in donating a medal? Drop it off at
a Charm City Run store, which has locations in
Annapolis, Baltimore, Clarksville, Timonium,
and Bel Air.
