Health Mart supports Noah’s bandage project
Health Mart pharmacies are supporting Noah’s Bandage Project with a donation of 10,000 colorful, kid-friendly bandages.
Nearly 2,000 Health Mart pharmacy owners and pharmacists at McKesson ideaShare, held this week in Orlando, donated the “badges of honor” to support the innovative nonprofit. All bandages donated will benefit Orlando children fighting cancer.
“Noah’s Bandage Project is about helping kids who are experiencing the worst,” said Paul Long, president of Noah’s Bandage Project board of directors. “When kids enter cancer care, a fun bandage – instead of the boring brown ones – gives them the chance to have fun in a sterile and scary environment. We’re thrilled Health Mart stepped up to donate!”
“Each day, more than 40 children are diagnosed with cancer in the United States,” Health Mart president Nimesh Jhaveri said. “Cancer is tough, but so are the kids faced with this diagnosis at such a young age. Many Health Mart pharmacies care for their patients and go above and beyond the counter. It’s exciting to see this donation as one more way we’re impacting patients together.”
The mission of Noah’s Bandage Project is to end childhood cancer through awareness, support and the gift of hope. Since 2015, they have donated nearly 210,000 boxes of kid-friendly bandages and raised more than $700,000 for pediatric cancer research thanks to a child named Noah.
