Project C.U.R.E. was founded in a Colorado garage in 1987 and has since expanded to seven distribution locations across the U.S., including Nashville, USA in 1999.Project C.U.R.E. will host an event at its Nashville distribution center on September 19 with drinks from 5:30-6 p.m. and a volunteer project from 6-8:30 p.m.
Probo Medical’s Elizabeth Cook, RSTI’s Kim Rowland, Block Imaging’s Jen Davis and Pronk Technologies’ Gary Hoffman are working with Project C.U.R.E. on this volunteer event. The goal is to develop a stronger HTM community in the Nashville area, including HTM pros from Alabama and Georgia.
Since 1987, Project C.U.R.E. has grown to become the world’s largest distributor of donated medical supplies, equipment, and services to doctors and nurses in more than 135 countries. This is no easy feat. The only way Project C.U.R.E. can continue its efforts is through the help and support of those also willing to get involved — from volunteering to donating, you can help us make a difference.
