The UM Memorial Hospital Foundation has announced its annual appeal will benefit the Covid-19 Response Fund, a fund that helps support UM Shore Regional Health’s unique needs during the COVID-19 pandemic, said F. Graham Lee, vice president for philanthropy.
Contributions to the fund are used for vital necessities such as health and medical supplies that protect patients and staff, technology that enables remote health support (telehealth) for patients, equipment that helps keep patients and families connected while social distancing, and the emergent needs of hospital staff members, who sacrifice to remain at the hospital for patients.

Please support community health and our front-line team today,” said Lee.
