Clark State Nursing, EMS donate supplies to local hospital

The Clark State Community College of nursing and emergency medical services programs have donated unused personal protective equipment (PPE) to a local hospital and clinic, according to a release from the school.

“We wanted to support our front-line health care providers during this crisis and realized the best way we could do so was to provide some of the PPE they need,” said Gwen Stevenson, director of nursing programs at Clark State. “They are the most at risk, and we are grateful for the work they are doing.”
