Researchers from across the University of Florida and UF Health have joined an urgent effort to collect and donate personal protective equipment, or PPE, to build upon existing stockpiles in support of clinical colleagues on the frontlines of treating COVID-19.
By the pallet and truckload, laboratory teams spanning across UF’s many scientific disciplines are amassing masks, face shields, gloves, gowns, disinfecting wipes, hand sanitizer and more to be sure that UF Health’s frontline health care personnel have the equipment they need to stay safe and provide the best possible care to patients.
