The care closet houses clothing and hygiene essentials, such as toothpaste, donated by medical branch employees. The items are available to patients and their friends and family members at the hospital who might not be able to afford them. “If they don’t have transportation or want to leave their loved one’s bedside, all of those items are here in the care closet to provide to them,” medical branch social worker and patient resource specialist Savannah Parks said. “They can just focus on their loved ones and not have to stress or go without taking care of themselves.” I45now also reported on the opening.
