We’ve all seen how Hurricane Harvey has ravaged Houston, Texas and many surrounding communities. There are nearly 40 hospitals in the region that are served by thousands of health care workers, many of whom are dealing with significant damage and loss as a result of the storm while trying to take care of their patients under conditions of extreme duress.
The Texas Hospital Association (THA) has created a fund to help hospital employees impacted by this record-breaking storm and flood damage. All funds will be used to directly assist hospital employees in Federal Emergency Management Agency-designated disaster areas; administrative services are being provided in kind so that 100 percent of donated funds will be used to assist hospital employees.
The American Hospital Association has contributed $50,000 to get the fund started. For more information or to make a donation, visit https://www.tha.org/Harvey/AssistanceFund
AHA is working with THA on other ways hospitals and health systems can assist their colleagues in Texas and will share more information when available.
