On Thursday, Nov. 9, 11 members of the LLCC Student Radiographers Association and Janelle Murphy, program director, radiography, volunteered at HSHS Mission Outreach.  Mission Outreach is an organization that accepts medical supply donations from all over the U.S. These donations are sorted at the center and then shipped overseas to various countries in need. The club members sorted, counted, weighed and boxed supplies to help expedite the process. They are current students of LLCC’s associate degree radiography program and demonstrated a strong commitment to bettering health care concerns across the world!
