Paying It Forward-COVID-19
Dear Colleagues,
I cannot emphasize enough the IACC's gratitude to the true heroes of COVID-19 - doctors, nurses, police, Emergency Medical Technicians, and firefighters. In early March, we opened the coffers of the IACC and purchased and donated thousands of KN95 medical masks to these brave men and women.
I was heartened and humbled to receive an email from a doctor practicing at North Shore University Hospital stating "Please understand how very thankful we are for the masks you have provided. We feel blessed to have the support from such an important organization.
