Help Provide PPE
Thank you to everyone who has offered to provide personal protective equipment (PPE) during this time. We are working with state authorities and directly with medical supply manufacturers and distributors to acquire as much PPE as possible. We are also accepting all donations of PPE to ensure our frontline team members are as safe as possible while caring for the patients who desperately need our help.
If you know of any additional sources of PPE, please contact Raymund Lacson, Purchasing and Material Services Manager, at rlacson@sheppardpratt.org. Learn more about the 100 Million Mask Challenge.
Donate Food to Our Frontline Employees
We would gladly accept donations of meals/snacks from restaurants - our frontline employees are working tirelessly to ensure that we can continue to provide world class mental health care to every person in need.
