As the national pandemic continues, Cuyuna Regional Medical Center needs donations of medical supplies to help meet ongoing health care needs and conserve existing personal protective equipment (PPE) for providers who are engaged in the coronavirus response.

Especially needed are protective face masks since everyone entering the facility is now required to wear one. Even though the masks are laundered daily, supplies are running low. Also needed are disposable long-sleeved plastic gowns, non-plastic isolation gowns, N-95 masks, clear plastic face shields, safety goggles, and safety glasses. CRMC also welcomes notes of gratitude and encouragement for our staff that we will share in a safe manner.

Supplies may be safely donated Wednesday, April 15, from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. at CRMC’s employee parking lot along Highway 210 in Crosby. When you come to donate items, remain in your vehicle. A staff member will come to you to accept your donation. Look for a tent and “donation” signage as you arrive.

For answers to any donation questions or an alternative time to make a donation, please contact Jennifer Podsiadly at Jennifer.podsiadly@cuyunamed.org .
