Midlands Technical College is answering calls for help.

The college’s health care program leaders have been gathering supplies normally used for instruction that are critically needed now by the medical community.

So far, MTC has made 5 significant donations to Prisma Health, SC DHEC, Lexington Medical Center, Lexington Extended Care and the Heritage at Lowman in Chapin.

The donations consist of 29,500 gloves, 5000 thermometer covers, 1150 surgical masks, 30+ pairs of goggles, 5 disposable gowns, two 32 oz. bags of hand sanitizer and two surgical shield masks.

“Many of the nurses and emergency medical professionals working on the front lines of the corona virus fight are Midlands Technical College graduates,” said Ron Rhames, President of Midlands Technical College.

“As a leader in health care education and training, it is natural for us to do everything we can to support health care organizations in our communities across the Midlands.”
