Employee donations benefit Oxford HealthCare's Joplin staff


Thanks to the generosity of CoxHealth employees the CoxHealth Foundation sent personalized care packages to 15 Oxford HealthCare employees who lost their homes in the Joplin tornado.

The Joplin office of Oxford HealthCare was destroyed but employees have set up temporary offices in a local church. They've pulled together to check on their patients and they have been able to make contact with all of their clients over the last few days.

At the Foundation office, tubs were labeled with each person’s name and then filled with personal hygiene items, baby items as needed, toys and books for the children, clothing, trash bags and other necessities. Also sent were new towels, blankets, and pillows.

“All these donations came pouring in with one email to our employees about their fellow co-workers in need, we are so fortunate to have such caring people here at CoxHealth,” says Lisa Alexander, president, CoxHealth Foundation.
