NCMS wants to hear your story of helping after Helene
Within hours of the arrival of Hurricane Helene in Western North Carolina, NCMS Board of Directors member Dr. Charul Haugan was on a plane headed to the area. She joined six other ED physicians and PAs to help patients in those vital first hours.
Per Haugan, they showed up to :aid their fellow emergency medicine colleagues, some of whom are caring for patients while their own families were missing or deceased.”
She adds, “It is truly amazing what can be accomplished when passionate and dedicated people rally around a cause, break down barriers, and collaborate effectively. We are still early in this disaster relief game, and the work ahead will have many challenges.”
Haugan is back home, but still diligently working to help the people of Western North Carolina.
NCMS wants to hear your stories too! Please reach out to Randy Aldridge at raldridge@ncmedsoc.org to share how you are helping the needy in North Carolina following Helene.
