PRATT, Ala. — CEO Esther Apter and several other employees from Chestnut Ridge, N.Y.-based MedForce Technologies headed to Alabama over the weekend to help clean up in the wake of the devastating tornadoes that ripped through the state on April 27. Working through disaster response organization Nechama, the team is helping residents clean up the damage in the city of Pratt, in the Birmingham area, June 12-14.
"We have customers in all of the areas affected by the recent natural disasters, so it really hit home for us," said Apter. "My daughter's work with Nechama motivated us to find the next available weekend to go to Alabama and do what we can to help the residents of at least one affected area put their lives back together."
Apter encourages others who would like to help to visit www.nechama.org or any other disaster relief organization.
