The North Carolina Hospital Foundation (NCHF) Disaster Relief Fund has been distributing checks to support the North Carolina healthcare workers who suffered significant property loss to their homes during Hurricane Florence and the subsequent flooding. More than 160 organizations and individuals in North Carolina and across the nation generously contributed more than $281,000 to the Disaster Relief Fund. The money raised will be distributed to 544 hospital employees in impacted areas. Staff at NCHA and the Foundation were honored to recently hand-deliver checks to 13 employees at Columbus Regional Healthcare System in Whitevile, three employees at Novant Health Brunswick Medical Center in Bolivia, 45 employees at Southeastern Health in Lumberton and 10 employees at Wayne UNC Health Care in Goldsboro.
