KyIP in the Community: Supplies over Seas
KyIP and Norton Research Institute recently rolled up their sleeves at Supplies over Seas (SOS), a Louisville nonprofit making a global impact by redistributing surplus medical supplies and equipment to communities in need. Together, we helped sort and pack life-saving materials destined for hospitals and clinics around the world.
Volunteering with SOS was a powerful reminder of how collaboration can strengthen health systems, reduce waste, and extend the reach of care far beyond Kentucky’s borders.
