2nd Annual Pet Food Drive a Success
San Andreas, Ca...The 2nd Annual Pet Food Drive was a huge success, thanks to the employees at Mark Twain St. Joseph’s Hospital and the surrounding communities who donated a total of 663 pounds of pet food and supplies this week to the Calaveras County Resource Connection, Animal Control and the Calaveras Humane Society. The Pet Food Drive was initiated last year by MTSJH employee Cathy Davis to help the many animals whose owners have been affected by the downturn in the economy. Donations of pet food, cat litter, animal treats, collars, leashes, and cat carriers were dropped off at various locations throughout Calaveras County, including the hospital and the five Family Medical Centers. The most popular drop-off spot was at Treat’s Store in San Andreas!..
“It is evident this need exists” said Ms. Davis, an EKG and Pulmonary Stress Technologist. “Many pets have just been abandoned. And we need to do all we can to support the owners as well as their pets.”
“This project is just one more activity the hospital family can do to improve the health of our community” said hospital president Feliciano Jiron. “We’re all in this together. And together we will succeed.”
Mark Twain St. Joseph’s Hospital is a not-for-profit, 25-bed critical access hospital serving all of the foothill communities. Established in 1951 as Mark Twain District Hospital and centrally located in San Andreas, the hospital is partnered with Catholic Healthcare West to further strengthen this rural hospital to meet future community needs. The hospital is supported by 36 active physicians practicing in 24 specialties.
