Knoxville Hospital & Clinics Accepts Donation from Knoxville Sorority, XI Alpha Tau
Knoxville Hospital & Clinics Accepts Donation from Knoxville
Sorority, Xi Alpha Tau KNOXVILLE – Knoxville Hospital & Clinics recently accepted surgery pillows that were made and donated by a Knoxville sorority, Xi Alpha Tau.
While visiting with Amy Zoutte, surgery care coordinator at KHC, Dr. Alda Knight suggested that the surgery department provide pillows to patients which support the incision during coughing and deep breathing. Zoutte took this idea to heart and approached the sorority about this community service project.
Two of the sorority members, Carol Troendle and Beth Northway, work at KHC so this project was extra special to them. In addition, the sorority enlisted the assistance of fellow KHC employee, Diane Myers, to stitch a heart and the hospital initials on every pillow.
Knoxville Hospital & Clinics, a Critical Access Hospital serving Marion County and the surrounding area, is dedicated to providing personal, progressive quality health care with compassion. For more information regarding this release and other happenings at Knoxville Hospital & Clinics, call the Public Relations office at (641) 842-1418.
