A Call for Medical Mask Donations
Allina Health Asks Public to Donate Face Masks for Health Care Workers
Due to an outpouring of community support and desire to make donations of needed protective equipment, Allina Health has set up collection sites at many of its facilities to receive donations. Health care organizations are in need of additional masks to help meet ongoing health care needs and to help conserve existing personal protective equipment for providers engaged in the coronavirus response.
