Subaru Loves to Care – and it cares about Georgia Cancer Center patients.
Friday, Gerald Jones Subaru joined Subaru of America and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) to deliver “Subaru Loves to Care” kits, complete with cozy blankets and handwritten messages of hope, to patients at the Augusta cancer center’s outpatient clinic at Wellstar MCG Health.
“I think it’s wonderful,” said Kent Sapp of Trenton, S.C., who was receiving a 30-minute infusion at the clinic. “I get cold at home, in here. It’s wonderful, just to know people care.”
Subaru representatives handed out blankets and handwritten messages to dozens of patients at the clinic as center staff tended to them. Sapp said he agreed to speak publicly because infusion nurse Grace Green asked him to.
“She’s one of the angels up here, all of them,” Sapp said. “The nurses make all the difference.”
Subaru and LLS are delivering custom blankets and messages of hope to cancer patients in communities across the country, with a goal of “delivering more simple comforts to more patients, year after year,” a statement said.
Subaru of America is guided by the “Subaru Love Promise,” which is the company’s vision to show love, support and respect wherever it operates, the statement said.
LLS has spent 75 years funding research to improve treatments and find cures while also offering advocacy and resources to those affected by blood cancers, it said.
The Georgia Cancer Center at Augusta University is “dedicated to reducing the burden of cancer in Georgia and across the globe,” through superior care, innovation and education.
