In early April, Gemassist donated to the Norton Foundation’s Neuroscience department. This donation has been earmarked to purchase a Fundus Camera for the Norton Brownsboro ER. This piece of equipment will help Neurologists diagnose acute visual problems in recent stroke patients.

Gemassist also donated much-needed kitchen equipment to Trager Institute’s Optimal Aging Clinic. It will be used to help rehabilitate patients 65 and over, as they recover from illnesses and have new life circumstances.
