Does anyone out there know of any companies that donate supplies to the school health clinic? I'm in need of several things. Thanks!

How about your PTA ? Can they sponsor your clinic and lend a hand with the supplies. Does your school system have a budget for you ? Seems like the school should be keeping you in supplies for the students. Good luck with this.

I have tried to get my school to purchase these things and I just get laughed at, they buy the basic stuff, band aids. personal products, eye wash etc. I'm asking for things that would make my life easier, like an otoscope, a good stethescope, a shredder so that I don't have to go "borrow" one from another part of the building. As far as the PTA goes, they just supplied the funds for a new security system and an AED for the school. Not that I asked for either. Thanks for your input, I will keep trying, or else I will purchase the things I need and take them with me when I leave the school.

The PTA usually has a mini grant budget, and a supplies like the stethoscope and the shredder are a benefit to the school and their kids - go ahead and apply - easy easy forms.

Another group is you local hospital auxiliary, the Rotary, etc.
