CoxHealth supports back-to-school drives

In July, CoxHealth is contributing to the community with back-to-school collection drives. Many families with school-aged children don’t always have the resources available to purchase backpacks and supplies so students can start the year off right. Together we can help make a difference! Check out the information for your campus below. Thank you for participating!

Springfield: For the fourth year, CoxHealth will participate in Stuff the Bus, a community effort to provide backpacks full of school supplies to Springfield-area school kids. 1906, the employee store, has a limited supply of pre-filled backpacks in the store for $22.50 or purchase backpacks and supplies and bring them to our Stuff the Bus drop off locations on Thursday, July 23: Cox South from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m.; Cox North, 2-3 p.m. Click the image below to see the full list of supplies:
