Circle of Sharing
-
Starting point: Hospitals agree to donate surplus medical supplies and equipment.
-
Collection barrels are provided; hospital staff are educated on appropriate materials for recovery.
-
Materials are collected routinely from each site, and then are identified and evaluated.
-
Volunteers sort and repack materials. Staff enters descriptive information into the inventory database.
-
Approved recipient hospitals "order" what they need. The contents of each container are tailored to meet the "needs list" of the recipient organization.
-
Completing the circle, containers are shipped to recipient hospitals. There is follow up and accountability to ensure they arrive on time, undamaged, and are put to good use.
The shipments of medical supplies and equipment have brought healing and the promise of better lives to 73 countries and countless patients. Over the years Northlake Raotarians volunteered numerous times to help MedShare with those shipments.
