Thank You to our Health Heroes


Members of the Women’s Resource Group, along with other UTHSC staff and even some family members, donated $1200 worth of baked goods and other treats to several of our Mid-South hospitals on May 7, 2020 to show the front line how much we appreciate all of their efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic.
