Ways You Can Help
While we are urging people to follow the CDC's guidance for social distancing and staying home as much as possible, many people are still looking for ways they can help. Below are some of the ways you can help Nash UNC Health Care and the community during this time. We encourage you to do the same for our local health departments, EMS workers, other medical facilities and all front-line healthcare personnel in our community. Together, we are stronger.
Thank Our Staff
Want to thank our healthcare workers but aren't sure how to do so in a safe way? Send us pictures or a video of you or your family offering words of encouragement and appreciation. Photos of handmade posters or hand-written notes, for example, will be shared with our staff. You can send your pictures and videos to NashUNCHealthCare@gmail.com
Food Donations
Snacks will be placed in the relaxation rooms that our staff are able to use during their breaks. These donations should be coordinated with the Nash UNC Health Care Foundation and not taken to the hospital. Please email Stacy.Jesso@unchealth.unc.edu or call Stacy at 704-562-9721 to make arrangements. Gift cards are also appreciated and will be used to purchase snack items.
Send a Meal
Want to support local restaurants while also supporting our staff? Contact Rich Jared to coordinate a meal delivery for a unit or group of employees, or call 252-962-3473.
Monetary Donations
Monetary donations are a wonderful way to show your support. Money donated to the Covid-19 Support Fund will be used to show appreciation for staff by purchasing snacks, items for staff relaxation rooms to use during breaks and other needs as they arise.
Donations can be made online at http://NashUNCHealthCareFoundation.org/donate Please make sure you select “Covid-19 Support Fund” under designation. Checks should be made out to Nash UNC Health Care Foundation and mailed to 2416 Professional Drive Rocky Mount, NC 27804. Make sure to put a note on the memo line that it is for the Covid-19 Support Fund.
