What is Medshare?

MedShare is a service club at LHS which carries out medical surplus recovery. A large amount of medical supplies exist which local hospitals and health care providers simply cannot use anymore for various reasons. This equipment can save lives overseas in developing countries that have limited access to these supplies. A group of LHS students collects, sorts, and repacks equipment for it to be shipped to hospitals and clinics in medically underserved communities abroad.

Besides being valuable to public health overseas, this effort helps our local environment as well. By U.S. Law, these donations cannot be used inside the United States once released by local hospitals.

MedShare is open to all interested students and community members. Students from each high school and their alumni have participated in the past. MedShare provides many service hours towards graduation and college application requirements. For more information or to become involved, please contact Dan Carella( room 228), club sponsor at LHS, through school e-mail.
