Lourdes Hospital in Binghamton, New York, has so far committed five large pallets of medical supplies and personal care items to PROJECT C.U.R.E.'s relief efforts in Haiti. Staff at the hospital will continue to collect items for delivery to Haiti; the total value of materials currently exceeds $100,000.

Lourdes began collecting supplies to donate to PROJECT C.U.R.E. in December 2009 for general needs. When the earthquake hit in Haiti, it was evident to the staff at Lourdes where the supplies should go. Items collected include: hand sanitizer, diabetes testing supplies, suture material, syringes, ostomy supplies, dressings, and casting material.

"We hope to send more supplies to Haiti as they are collected throughout the hospital and Lourdes Primary Care sites,' said Joan Kupetsky, hospital coordinator.
