To protect the health and safety of its patients and care teams, donations should not be brought directly to any Mercy Health facilities.
Additional needs or details regarding donated supplies will be updated at www.mercy.com. Mercy Health said its quality, safety, supply chain and clinical teams are working together to evaluate the donations being gathered.
“In regards to handmade and non-clinical masks, standard issue masks are still the best way to protect our health care professionals,” Mercy said in a release today. “However, for the time being, we will be accepting handmade mask donations.
