VCU Health Community Memorial Hospital is accepting donations of face masks, other personal protection gear

 

Hospitals across the country are looking ahead at how they can care for many more patients to come during the COVID-19 outbreak. We currently have sufficient supplies of personal protective equipment (PPE) to keep our doctors and nurses safe on the frontlines of care, but we cannot predict the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

To prevent future shortages of PPE and protect our clinicians until transmission of the virus is over, we are reaching out to the communities we serve for help.

 

For more information on donations, please call (434) 584-5893.

 

If you are an organization or business (labs, construction, machinery, salons and other personal services) with supplies of PPE, please consider a donation of your supplies to help us protect the physicians, nurses and team members of VCU Health CMH working on the frontlines for the safety and wellbeing of our community.

 

We welcome donations of the following items:

 

·       Surgical masks

·       N95 masks

·       Face shields

·       Disposable gowns

·       Latex-free gloves

·       Goggles

·       Shoe covers

·       Head covers

·       Germicide wipes

 

If you are making masks, please contact us at (434) 584-5893 before attempting.  We will share guidelines for making masks.

 

Please schedule to bring your donations to the hospital. Please bring your donation in a bag or box, if possible. These donation drop-offs will be scheduled. Please do not just show up.
