With the motto "Service Above Self", Rotarians are looking to change the world as they believe the world could be happier, healthier, and more peaceful, by creating a better world through service.  Embracing humanity and the commitment to community service, The Rotary Club of East Nassau president, Adam Darville, joined fellow community service committee members, Gavin Christie, chairman and past president Michele Rassin to present essential medical supplies and equipment to Sandilands Rehabilitation Centre.
The medical supplies, valued over $5,000 to be distributed to the wards, include wheelchairs, blood pressure monitors, pulse oximeters, manual and electric patient lifts, slings, thermometers, otoscope/ophthalmoscope sets, bath seats and other much-needed supplies provided at cost by local medical supplier Ports International.
"As a service organization, The Rotary Club of East Nassau considers it our responsibility to devote resources to improving the quality of life in our community," said Darville.  "We join forces to help meet community needs, not only through monetary means but also through volunteerism.  On behalf of the Rotary Club of East Nassau, we are very pleased to present Sandilands with the much-needed medical supplies for their wards.  We are also very thankful to Ports International for bringing in the medical supplies at cost."
Sandilands Rehabilitation Centre, administrator Sharon Williams thanked the Rotary Club of East Nassau for the donation of the much-needed assistance which will benefit their clients.
"This will go a long way in enhancing the care for our clients.  We will put them to great use," said Williams.  "We appreciate the opportunity to partner with the Rotary Club of East Nassau; for this, we are grateful for their efforts."
In addition to the provision of medical supplies, Darville committed to assisting Sandilands with future projects and essentials.
