Chemo Port Pillow Project
Rotarians worked with local woman-owned clothing manufacturer to create chemo port pillows and distribute to local oncology labs for cancer patients. The port pillows were manufactured for comfort from seat belt irritation at the site of the port-a-cath used for chemotherapy delivery. This project was funded through the District 6900 Grant via Rotary Foundation of Rotary International and the Americus Rotary Club.
