Kennedy Health to Donate Wheelchairs to Camden County Veterans

Kennedy Health will donate 22 wheelchairs to Camden County veterans on Wednesday.

Camden County Freeholder Michelle Gentek-Mayer will be on hand, along with a representative of the Camden County Office of Veteran Affairs when Kennedy Health corporate managers and senior leaders participate in a special team-building event held in Center City Philadelphia.

Kennedy Health President and CEO Joseph W. Devine, on behalf of the Kennedy leadership team, will formally present the donation at 4:30 p.m.

“I commend Kennedy Health for their commitment to our nation’s bravest, and for setting one of the objectives of their event to serve our veterans,” Gentek-Mayer said. “These new tools will be an asset to our county’s veterans who are injured or battling sickness. The office of veteran affairs goes above and beyond for our local military members and this will be one more resource we can now provide to them.”

The wheelchairs will be made available to be loaned out to Veterans in Camden County. They will be built on Wednesday as part of a community outreach team-building exercise. The wheelchairs will be assembled by more than 100 Kennedy managers, working in teams to construct them.
