Analgesic Healthcare Partners with the American Red Cross to Aid with Hurricane Matthew Relief

Tampa, FL, November 10, 2016 (Newswire.com) - ​In the wake of Hurricane Matthew, Analgesic Healthcare has partnered with the American Red Cross of Central Florida in their efforts to aid those impacted by Hurricane Matthew.

Hurricane Matthew started out as Tropical Storm Matthew and increased to a deadly Category 5 as it traveled across the Western Atlantic inflicting devastating damage in areas including Haiti, Cuba, and the Dominican Republic. It then made landfall in the Southeast region of the United States on October 8, where a state of emergency was declared in several states including Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. Hurricane Matthew, now known as the costliest hurricane since Hurricane Sandy in 2012 and the first Category 5 since Hurricane Felix in 2007, has caused widespread damage, flooding, power outages, and death.

We are committed to positively shape and enrich our country and community. We deeply respect the American Red Cross for providing people with opportunities to step up and give. The outstanding reputation of the American Red Cross is the reason we are dedicated to an ongoing partnership with them as our signature charity.
