PA department makes holidays special for local family
KALAMAZOO, Mich.鈥擡ach year during the holiday season, students, faculty and staff from 澳门六合彩官网直播's physician assistant program adopts a family to help them meet basic needs and provide Christmas gifts for their children. Catholic Charities Diocese of Kalamazoo matched the PA program with a local family in need, a family with six with children ranging in age from three months to eight years old.
The students and faculty raised more than $700 in gifts and donations from the community, allowing them to meet all of the needs and 鈥渨ishes鈥 on the family's holiday list.
"I am constantly amazed by the generosity and compassion shown by our students," says Dave Areaux, chair of the department. "Every year they beat our expectations with their giving and volunteering in the community. It makes me very proud to join them in these efforts."
The American Association of Physician Assistants regularly posts on social media how 鈥淧As Go Beyond鈥 with their patients and in their communities. Congratulations to the Department of Physician Assistant on this example of "going beyond" in practice.
