Hudson, Florida (January 2, 2017) – Regional Medical Center Bayonet Point volunteers recently donated $2,000 to RMCBP’s holiday basket program for children and families in our community. The basket program provides children and families with toys and holiday meals thus providing a happier holiday season for challenged children and families in our community.
Each year Regional Medical Center Bayonet Point’s staff, physicians and volunteers collaborate to provide families and children with holiday gift baskets, food, and many extras. The referrals come from schools and social agencies and the hospital also helps some of its own who are having difficulty.
