On Tuesday, August 22nd, our office joined with MetroPlus Health Plan, the Dr. Theodore A. Atlas Foundation, and CVS to distribute backpacks and school supplies to needy children at RUMC's Pediatric Ambulatory Clinic.
In addition to the school supply give away, RUMC and MetroPlus hosted free health screenings and provided educational resources for clinic patients.

55 bags filled with supplies were distributed to kids who attended. MetroPlus Health Plan also donated backpacks filled with supplies to the Atlas Foundation to be given out in schools.
