On Friday, Aug. 21, PCH's Director of Marketing and Community Relations Brooke Trissel and Post-Acute Quality Coordinator Lesli Fordice delivered standing hand sanitizing stations to the four county school corporations.

North Putnam, South Putnam, Cloverdale and Greencastle all received multiple stands and gallon jugs of hand sanitizer.

These will be used for school athletic and educational gatherings.

In the days leading up to schools starting, Putnam County Hospital also donated more than 2,800 mini-bottles of sanitizer for students across the county to have.

Students may attach these mini-bottles to their bags or keep them in their desks.

“Putnam County Hospital wants to help in any way we can to ensure the safety of our students, athletes and community members,” Trissel said. “This is just a small way for us to give back to our community. The community has been so incredibly supportive of the hospital the last several months and it is the least we could do.”

Putnam County Hospital is also offering curbside COVID testing. To schedule an appointment, call 301-7019.
