Emergency Department Care Packages | | |
The McLaren Greater Lansing Foundation Board and Emeritus members showed support for the employees of the McLaren Greater Lansing Emergency Department by purchasing care packages.
The care packages included a lotion, from Soulful Earth Herbals in Reo Town, Lansing, a chocolate bar from Fabiano's Candies and hand sanitizer.
We are lucky to have such a dedicated group of employees in our ED. We hope that they enjoyed this small token of our appreciation. Thank you to each board member who donated to this special project.
