DERBY -  Staff from Griffin Hospital’s Operating Room and Anesthesia departments got into the spirit of giving by supporting a family in need this holiday season.

For the third straight year, the staff worked with the Parent Child Resource Center to fill the wish list of a local family whose children are receiving services at the Center. 
This year, they provided clothes for two children along with a grocery store gift card and cash.

“We started doing this because we are blessed to have jobs and our health when those around us in the community have much less than we do, and we love paying it forward,” said Robin Quickel, Griffin Hospital Operating Room Materials coordinator.

PCRC, a division of BHcare, is a state licensed, nonprofit behavioral healthcare provider serving children and families throughout the Lower Naugatuck Valley and beyond. 

For more than 40 years, PCRC has been providing hope and help to children, adolescents, and families struggling with emotional and behavioral issues.
