Freeman Employees Donate Supplies to Neosho School District Nurses

Freeman Hearts and Hands Quest Team partnered with Bright Futures Neosho in Nurses Helping Nurses to restock much-needed supplies for Neosho School District Nurses. During January and February, Freeman employees donated necessities such as cough drops, dye-free pain reliever, lice kits, underwear and personal hygiene items.

Freeman Hearts and Hands Quest Team is part of the Quest to be the BEST initiative at Freeman Health System. Quest to be the BEST was established in 2008 and is comprised of several volunteer teams of Freeman caregivers focused on enhancing the patient experience and employee satisfaction, and participating in community outreach projects.
