- Methodist University had multiple departments – PA, Nursing, DPT, OT, Biology, and Chemistry – dontate PPE to two local hospitals, Cape Fear Valley Health System and Scotland Memorial Hospital.

- Wake Forest University’s PA program gathered up its PPE and shipped it to the clinical sites.
- Wingate University’s main campus PA, Pharmacy, and Nursing programs jointly collected face masks, gloves and protective gowns. The PPE was taken to local hospitals. At the Hendersonville campus, the PA and Pharm programs donated gloves and disinfectant wipes to the Pardee Hospital Cancer Center, located in the same building as the Wingate Hendersonville campus.
This is a great reminder of how we are all in this together. If you have an example of an act of generous support during this challenging time, please let us know by emailing Kat Nicholas at kat.nicholas@ncapa.org.
