A new clinic has opened as the first step to providing revolutionary life-saving services for blood cancer patients at Victoria’s Epworth HealthCare.
A joint project, the Epworth Centre for Immunotherapies and Snowdome Laboratories will provide innovative treatments and technology as part of the path to offering cellular therapies in Australia.
It was funded by donations to the Epworth Medical and Snowdome foundations.
“We are grateful to the many donors who helped make this world-class facility a reality,” Epworth Medical Foundation’s Executive Director Scott Bulger said.

Clear Path for Veterans New England in Devens offers a multitude of programs responding to COVID-19 by providing service members and veterans and their families with boxes of non-perishable food supplies and most recently Grab n’ Go meals.
Food insecurity is a continuing issue during COVID-19, said Donna Bulger of Norfolk, executive director and vice president of Clear Path, a 50 (c)3 with the mission “to build a safe, supportive and respectful place for Veterans.” Bulger and her husband, Scott Bulger, are founders of Clear Path.
Donna Bulger said that in 2020 with help from the Massachusetts Military Support Foundation Clear Path was able to distribute 200 food boxes to veterans weekly. Beginning in October 2020, the nonprofit received a weekly shipment of 1,000 boxes of food distributed by the USDA Farm to Family program. “People in the community as well as veterans benefited,” said Bulger.
