UH COVID-19 Caregiver Support Fund Receives Generous Cleveland Browns Gift
University Hospitals is the grateful recipient of more than $21,000 from the Cleveland Browns as part of Browns' “Hats Off to Our Heroes" fundraising campaign. The donation to the UH COVID-19 Caregiver Support Fund will help support services and resources aimed at providing comfort, compassion, special recognition and relief to UH caregivers as they attend to the health and wellness of our communities at this vital time.
In April, the Browns launched the “Hats Off to Our Heroes" Fund, focused on aiding health care professionals, first responders, educational professionals and other groups who are pivotal in the community year round and facing significant adversity due to COVID-19. For an extended period of time, the team committed 100 percent of its net proceeds from 2020 Browns jersey sales to the “Hats Off to Our Heroes" Fund.
“University Hospitals is honored to be a beneficiary of the Cleveland Browns' generosity. Our partnership with the Browns organization is a valued part of our commitment to the community we serve. Thank you for recognizing the valiant efforts of our caregivers. We will honor them as stewards of your generous gift," said Cliff A. Megerian, MD, FACS, President, University Hospitals.
University Hospitals is grateful to all individuals and organizations willing to help our caregivers, patients and community during the COVID-19 crisis. Community response and caregiver support funds have been established to support the extensive patient care, medical supplies, research and education needs.
