The UPS Foundation recently presented non-profit organization Park Lawn with a $5,000 donation that will fund medical equipment for continued care of individuals with developmental disabilities.
The donation will provide two wheelchair scales and two Digit Finger Oximeters to be used at three Park Lawn facilities.
The wheelchair scales aid in proper weight management and medical treatment for residents who are restricted to wheelchairs as well as provide a safe environment for individuals who can’t stand or balance themselves on a regular scale.
The Digit Finger Oximeters provides a fast and reliable pulse rate and oxygen readings to register statistics in the case of an emergency.
The UPS Foundation's major areas of focus include community safety, non-profit effectiveness, economic and global literacy, environmental sustainability and diversity. The UPS Foundation pursues these initiatives by identifying specific projects where its support can help produce a measurable social impact.
