By doing these types of drives, our team is able to at least make a patient's life a little easier.”Īlongside allowing the clinic to provide for patients, George said the massive turnout will allow the future directors of the clinic to address other patient needs when they’re appointed later this year. “It's harder for (some SRFC patients) to purchase these products (and) they're really essential to use on a regular basis. “The need for these types of products is really, really big… they can be really expensive,” said Choobchian. M2s Paoula Choobchian and Sarah George, co-directors, SRFC, hosted the drive because they saw how frequently the patients at their clinic took the feminine hygiene products from previous drives and wanted to continue offering them. The items were split, with half given to the SRFC to provide patients at no cost, and half going to I Support the Girls to be distributed to locations that need them. More than 4,700 tampons, 8,200 pads, and 350 bladder support pads were collected. The Student Run Free Clinic (SRFC) at Gary Burnstein Community Center in Pontiac, physicians at Corewell Health, and the Detroit chapter of nonprofit I Support the Girls (ISG) collaborated to hold a feminine hygiene product drive during November and December. Part of OUWB’s mission is to help communities and collaborate - and proof positive can be found in a recent drive that included medical students, alumni, local physicians, and community members.
