A group of Neenah High School students created cancer patient port pillows that were recently delivered to the staff at the ThedaCare Regional Cancer Center.
For patients undergoing chemotherapy, a medical port is often implanted near the collarbone. Standard car seatbelts can rub against these ports, causing significant discomfort during travel. These small, padded pillows wrap around the seatbelt, acting as a soft barrier that relieves pressure on the treatment site.
By the end of the school year, the students’ hard work filled two full boxes with handmade pillows.
Thank you to the students and the high school staff members who coordinated this project.
