We all know how much medical facilities are in need of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and when we read an article in The White Plains Patch of one in dire need, we knew we had to help. Especially one who sees their primary mission as keeping the people of Westchester and Putnam Counties healthy and strong, regardless of their ability to pay.
Supplies including exam gloves, face shields, goggles, alcohol and antiseptic wipes, disposable digital thermometers and sleeves and antibacterial soap were gathered and sent to Open Arms Family Medical Center in Ossining.
Open Door Director of Purchasing, Glenn Delau accepted the supplies from Charles Boklan, Director of Security at CW who dropped them off.
Thank You letter from Open Door »
A message from Jane Levy, Manager of Volunteer Programs & Open Door Foundation:
“We are overwhelmed by the generous donation.
Open Door was one of the original COVID- 19 testing sites in Westchester and Putnam Counties. We have just passed a milestone for our organization and have now tested over 1,600 people. In a country that is heavily criticized for not being able to administer tests, no one can say that about us. Open Door is punching well above our size.
Charlie did an amazing job of selecting every item and had a real sense of the items we needed. AND, we appreciate that he took the time to deliver to us. He is great!
Thank you for helping to keep our Clinical Care Team and community healthy. I look forward to continuing this partnership after this crisis.”
