Angelica Continues Relief Efforts to Haitian Hospital

BOSTON, Feb. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Angelica Corporation on Tuesday presented a check for over $73,000 to the CRUDEM Foundation, a mission that runs Hopital Sacre' Coeur (HSC), a hospital in Haiti that provides quality healthcare to the sick and the poor in the Haitian community.  To date, HSC has treated thousands of earthquake victims and remains a beacon of hope as relief efforts continue.  The financial contribution supplements Angelica's multiple linen donations since January's earthquake totaling 15,000 pounds.  The presentation occurred in Boston at St. Elizabeth's Medical Center, part of Caritas Christi Health Care, another CRUDEM partner.

In a two-week fundraising drive, employees contributed over $48,000, to which Angelica added a contribution of $25,000.  Said CEO Steve O'Hara, "Late last year, before the tragedy, we donated 1,000 pounds of linen to CRUDEM.  After the earthquake, we wanted to increase our efforts significantly, and I am proud that over 1,700 employees throughout the Angelica family opened their hearts to the victims of last month's devastating earthquakes that struck Haiti.  Everyone from our drivers to the workers who sort our linen felt a very personal desire to help Haiti in this time of extreme need."

As America's leading healthcare linen management specialists, Angelica believes it's our responsibility to do our part to support the relief effort.  We encourage others in our industry to support this worthy cause by contacting the CRUDEM Foundation at the address below:
