Hospital supplies are still needed for CareNow, Inc.’s upcoming free clinic Oct. 20-23 at the Los Angeles Sports Arena.

A variety of medical supplies are needed, including but not limited to: gloves, hand sanitizer, alcohol preps, tongue depressors, cortisone cream, bandages, needles, syringes, table paper, disposable stethoscopes and safety glasses. A complete list of supplies can be obtained from Brooks McEwen at b.mcewen@carenowusa.org.

For the past two years, three free clinics have been conducted in greater Los Angeles to provide medical, dental and vision services to thousands of patients. The first two were produced in association with Remote Area Medical (RAM) and the third with Maria Shriver’s Women’s Conference. The local organizers of these events have formed CareNow, Inc., a new local 501(c)(3) non-profit, to continue producing these events in Los Angeles.

Approximately 5,000 patients are expected to be treated at CareNow’s upcoming free clinic. Follow-up care will be provided to patients who need it.

Hospitals interested in donating supplies can contact Brooks McEwen at b.mcewen@carenowusa.org.
