Swedish Medical Center Collects Hygiene Items for Englewood Families

Swedish Medical Center partners with Englewood Schools to provide needed supplies to homeless
and at-risk students.

Englewood, CO, November 17, 2018 --(PR.com)-- What: From now until December 14, Swedish
Medical Center nurses, physicians, families and friends will be collecting hygiene kit supplies to give to
students in need—and they're asking for your help too.

“The holidays represent time to relax and enjoy family and friends. For some of our homeless and at-risk
families, this is unfortunately not a reality,” said Becky Manning, Englewood Schools homeless liaison.
“We like to be able to help in ways that allow families to spend more time on things that are important to
them. Basic needs may be a struggle, and resources such as hygiene kits are always appreciated.”

With a team of approximately 2,000 dedicated employees, 300 volunteers and 1,400 physicians, Swedish
Medical Center hopes they can gather enough supplies to help many families within the community. “I
know it seems small, but we hope our effort to provide these items will help our students and families
have a warmer holiday season this year,” said Theresa Lelong, Assistant Director of Employee Health
and Wellness at Swedish Medical Center.

Items will be collected in the main lobby of Swedish Medical Center and distributed to Englewood
Schools at the end of December.
