Campaign Progress
Donors have stepped up to help keep our caregivers
safe as they fight the COVID-19 virus.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Being part of a strong hospital system helps us secure the scarce supplies our frontline caregivers need. Locally, our community members continue to help us source additional supplies — surgical masks, N95 and KN95 masks, face shields, hand sanitizer and many other items. To be a part of the effort, visit URL and see our greatest current needs.
Caregiver Appreciation Meals
Our community has generously donated funds and resources to support St. Joseph Hospital nurses, doctors and staff. That includes meals to feed the frontline caregivers, shower kits to allow them to shower before going home to their families, beverages, Keurig machines, beef jerky, Health-ade Kombucha and so much more. We are overwhelmed by the generous response!
Blood and Plasma from Recovered Patients
People who are fully recovered from COVID-19 have antibodies in their plasma that attack the virus. This convalescent plasma is being evaluated as treatment for patients seriously ill from COVID-19. Both blood donations from healthy individuals and plasma donations from recovered COVID-19 patients are needed. Learn more at American Red Cross
An endoscopy center donation makes a difference. Here’s proof.
