Saint Joseph Mercy Health System now accepting homemade mask donations

(Chelsea Update would like to thank Bobby Maldonado for the information in this story.)

St. Joseph Mercy Health System is now allowing the use of alternative, non-commercially produced cotton masks for colleagues who are not directly providing care to suspected or confirmed COVID-19 patients.

The health and safety of staff is of the utmost importance.

To help staff feel safer and more protected, and to help conserve N95 masks for colleagues in COVID-19 clinical spaces, employees who are not in direct contact with COVID-19 patients or Persons Under investigation (PUI) may bring in any cotton mask that is made or donated.

Several of St. Joe’s donation centers have received masks already from community members and groups eager to support our effort, and the health system is grateful for the outpouring of support.

The following unused and unopened items continue to be accepted:

  • PAPRs
  • Regular masks
  • N95 masks
  • Face shields
  • Gowns
  • Hot glue sticks
  • Surgical caps/protective caps
  • Eyeglass shields/goggles
  • Nasal testing swabs
  • M4 viral media
  • Lysol or Clorox wipes
  • Hand sanitizer
  • Transparency sheets
  • Elastic banding for masks
