For the THIRD year in a row, Dr. Hulon Crayton,
Rheumatologist and owner of The Arthritis & Infusion Center, has seen the
need for people to stay warm. “Cold
rooms have a significant impact on people’s health,” said Dr. Crayton. One of the best ways of keeping yourself well
during winter is to stay warm. Keeping
warm over the winter months can help prevent colds, flu, or more serious health
conditions such as pneumonia and depression.
“When we
became aware of the situation at the Children’s Home Society of Florida, we knew we had to take immediate action by
purchasing extra blankets for the children to utilize,” said Dr. Crayton.
Felicia
Robinson Cook, Director of Development at the Children’s Home Society of
Florida was very grateful to Dr. Crayton and his team. “We never seem to have enough blankets to go
around since our kids need to stay warm, may be transient, and must take their
belongings with them. We are so very
grateful to Dr. Crayton for this donation,” said Ms. Cook.
This winter,
The Arthritis & Infusion Center would like to encourage Bay County residents
to clean out their linen closets or purchase NEW blankets for Dr.
Crayton and his staff to distribute to the Children’s Home Society of
Florida. “We’d like to continue to
‘spread the warmth’ as much as possible. People who are interested in helping us with this important project can drop
blankets at our medical practice any Monday through Thursday, 2917 Highway 77
in the Baldwin Plaza,” said Dr. Crayton. "Help us continue to spread
the warmth during this entire winter season!"
The
Arthritis & Infusion Center will collect blankets to distribute from December 1 until March 31 at their medical practice. (Their office is closed between 12 noon and 1:30 each day.)
