Personal protective equipment (PPE) needs for staff

Staff at our health centers have a critical need for N95 respirator masks and other PPE. Our Nevada Health Foundation is joining with our communities to source and collect these items. We are currently accepting donations of type N95 respirator masks in original sealed packaging and will distribute to NVHC clinical staff and other community partners in need. If you are in possession of N95 respirator masks and wish to donate them, please contact one of our Development Team members listed below to coordinate drop off.
