News for Immediate Release: Tidelands Health patients receive warm gift from local Subaru dealer
Patients receiving care and treatment at Tidelands Health Cancer Care Network got a warm surprise Monday.
Hadwin-White Subaru, in partnership with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, donated 200 plush, individually wrapped blankets to patients receiving infusion treatments at Tidelands Health Cancer Care Network locations in Myrtle Beach and Murrells Inlet. Patients receiving chemotherapy often rely on blankets to help keep them warm during the infusion treatments.
“Often a small gesture can make a big impact,” said Jason Bogart, internet manager at Hadwin-White Subaru who dropped off the boxes of blankets. “We hope these blankets will bring comfort to patients receiving treatment at Tidelands Health Cancer Care Network and remind them that we are thinking of them and support them through their treatments.”
Hadwin-White Subaru partners with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to donate blankets to the Tidelands Health Cancer Care Network through the Subaru Loves to Care initiative every June. Patients receiving treatments Monday in Myrtle Beach were eager to unwrap the blue blankets and put them to good use as soon as they came out of the box.
“Patients love these blankets. Many who received one in past years brought it with them to every treatment,” said Terry Pickett, director of cancer services at Tidelands Health. “The kind gesture means so much to our patients. We are grateful for the ongoing support of Hadwin-White Subaru and The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. We look forward to seeing that Subaru SUV stuffed with boxes of blankets pull up every summer.”
Tidelands Health Cancer Care Network provides cancer screenings, diagnosis and a broad range of treatment services, including chemotherapy, radiation therapy and surgery. The network is a full affiliate of the MUSC Hollings Cancer Network, South Carolina’s only National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center. The affiliation allows Tidelands Health Cancer Care Network to offer more care and treatment options close to home, as well as have greater access to groundbreaking clinical trials. Tidelands Health also is accredited by the American College of Surgeons’ Commission on Cancer.
