PPE2PHL
"We are a grassroots team of Philadelphia-based health professional students mobilizing to provide healthcare workers with the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) they need to combat the COVID-19 Pandemic. We work alongside the Department of Public Health to ensure all donations are distributed fairly.
Why:
-
Throughout our country, there are shortages of personal protective equipment (PPE) for healthcare workers who are risking their health to keep us well.
-
Healthcare providers have been coming out of retirement, working overtime, and putting themselves and their families in danger to protect us and let us stay at home.
-
There have been cases of doctors, nurses, and other healthcare staff ending in critical condition or even death due to their heavy exposure to the virus without adequate equipment.
​
Our goal is to provide healthcare providers with much-needed PPE. We want to tackle this problem in the Philadelphia, South Jersey, and Delaware Valley areas before it reaches a critical level, and we need your help!"
