COVID Preparedness Donations

The COVID Innovation Team, a group of Arizona medical students, physicians and engineers, is rapidly working to create and deploy effective, validated alternative PPE needed by frontline healthcare workers taking care of COVID patients.  We will use all donations to purchase much needed materials that will be used to develop unique solutions to the risks that our healthcare providers face in treating those suffering from COVID. Donations will be incredibly helpful in protecting our front line healthcare workers as we prepare for a spike in cases here in Arizona.  The PPE will be given directly to frontline healthcare workers in the ICU, ED and throughout the hospital.

In addition to monetary gifts to purchase these supplies, if you would prefer to donate these items, we would be very grateful! Below is the list of supplies that are most in need. If you would like to purchase them and donate, there are links below. If you have these items at home and would like to donate any unopened supplies, we welcome those donations as well.
