SunTech Medical, located in Morrisville, N.C. will donate a portion of its 2017 sales of its veterinary vital signs monitor sales to UNC PAWS, a shelter-to-pet recovery program at the Center.
UNC PAWS (peer-assisted wellness support) a shelter-to-pet program, rescues shelter dogs and teaches individuals with serious mental illness and community volunteers to train the dogs for adoption by individuals living with chronic health conditions. Dogs that complete the program are permanently placed with clients, and help relieve their symptoms of chronic physical and mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression and isolation.
For every Vet20, Vet25 and Vet30 monitor sold in North Carolina during June-December 2017, SunTech Medical will donate $100 to UNC PAWS.
“We appreciate the support that SunTech Medical has shown our organization,” said Thava Mahadevan, MS, LCAS, director, operations at the UNC Center for Excellence in Community Mental Health and director of the Center’s recovery programs, including PAWS. “We rely entirely on the generosity of donors, who have helped us to continue offering this important program to our clients.”
