As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to change our previously normal routines and business operations there are continued shortages of PPE like N95 Masks, 3Ply Masks, and Isolation Gowns. SPH Medical is actively working with the national N95 project to quickly provide needed masks and PPE to our frontline caregivers including nursing homes. Collaborating with companies like IPCWell, SPH Medical is breaking down the supply chain barriers to get this essential PPE into nursing homes rapidly where they desperately need it. IPCWell’s CEO, Dr. Buffy Lloyd-Krejci, is leading this charge to protect nurses and patients in Long Term Care and Post Acute facilities. SPH Medical’s President and CEO, Tony Coleman commented that IPCWell brings a passion and energy to infection prevention that matches ours and their vision to immediately and positively affect outcomes in Long Term Care is aligned with our commitment to every healthcare customer. Together we will be the change that this industry needs now.
Dr. Lloyd-Kejci stated that IPCWell has been working diligently to obtain PPE for our vulnerable healthcare settings. We have recently partnered with SPH Medical to secure bulk pricing, regardless of facility size. SPH Medical has available masks, gowns, face shields, hand sanitizer and other supplies that they are distributing rapidly to protect our nurses.
Our caregivers need solutions immediately. Contact SPH Medical or IPCWell to learn more about our supply chain advantages and PPE sourcing solutions and Infection Prevention Consulting.
