Nursing students repaint center

Several University of South Carolina Beaufort nursing students and faculty spent a recent Saturday morning repainting The Recovery Center, an outpatient day treatment facility in Beaufort.

Nursing students frequently assist at the Recovery Center, and have often remarked that the space needed sprucing up, according to a news release from the university.

The nursing program gathered donations of paint and materials from Lowe's and Home Depot. Gilman Floors in Bluffton also donated new flooring.

Then they went to work painting the once pink interior blue. Nursing students will participate in other community service projects this year, too.
