  • UPDATES FROM INCIDENT COMMAND:
    • Nursing home residents: We have reached an agreement with an out-of-county nursing home to accept discharged Covid positive nursing home patients. This will assist MHP in the number of available inpatient beds.
    • MHP Foundation: Want to help? Monetary gifts are greatly accepted. Gifts can be made online at https://www.mymhp.org/gift or by contacting Angela Gill at agill@majorhospital.org. Your gift may be used to purchase personal protection equipment, disinfecting supplies, testing/medical supplies, meals and other support for staff, assistance for patients with unmet Covid-19 related needs, and more.
  • SUPPLY UPDATES:
    • We need your empty hand sanitizer bottles. We are making our own hand sanitizer and need your empty containers in order to reuse.
    • Do you have items that you would like to donate? (hand sanitizer, masks, respirators, gloves, N95, bouffant caps, or gowns). If so, please contact Angela Gill (agill@majorhospital.org)
    • Food Donations: Several community supporters have called to offer to donate food for our staff and physicians. Some are also doing it as a way to support those restaurants who are struggling to stay afloat while they are only open for carryout. We are extremely grateful for all the community support and selfless gestures. If you would like to find out more information, please contact Angela Gill (agill@majorhospital.org).
