Memorial Hospital hosting scrub sale benefit

<p dir="ltr"><span>Chester Memorial Hospital will host a scrub sale on Friday, Sept. 30, and Saturday, Oct. 1, to benefit one of its own.</span>

<p dir="ltr"><span>Beverly Vanover has been a staff member at the hospital for 36 years and was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2015.</span>

<p dir="ltr"><span>After chemotherapy and radiation treatment during the past year, she was finally able to return to work in March only to suffer another setback. She is now paralyzed from the chest down after another medical crisis.</span>

<p dir="ltr"><span>Memorial Hospital staff has been conducting small fundraisers for Vanover, including bake sales, silent auctions and T-shirts.</span>

<p dir="ltr"><span>The hospital has recently adopted a dress code which specifies that employees wear specific colors and brands of scrubs per department and the staff is using the opportunity to hold a scrub sale.</span>

<p dir="ltr"><span>The staff is donating all of their used/gently used (and even some new without tags) scrubs. All of the money raised from the sale will be used to help make Vanover's home wheelchair accessible.</span>

<p dir="ltr"><span>The sale will take place Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. All scrubs are $2 each with sizes extra small on up.</span>

<p dir="ltr"><span>On Saturday from noon to 4 p.m., everything you can fit in a Walmart-type bag is $5. The sale will be held in the parking lot next to the hospital.</span>
