The medical team at Cooper University Hospital is in great need of crutches for children and adults injured by the earthquake in Haiti. Effective immediately, Cooper is collecting any gently used crutches to be shipped to their team of doctors in the Dominican Republic. People can drop off crutches to the valet at One Cooper Plaza from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., at the Bone & Joint offices in Voorhees and Newtown Square, PA, and in the Marketing Department at 3 Executive Campus, Cherry Hill. Go to www.cooperhealth.org for directions to these locations. The drive ends Friday, January 22, 2010, so the hospital can send the crutches to the injured.

FINDING LOVED ONES
The aim of the International Committee of the Red Cross FamilyLinks website is to help those separated by conflict or disaster to find information about their loved ones in order to restore contact. Visit: http://www.icrc.org/familylinks.
