Having access to the PPE we need is a crucial part of keeping our kids, caregivers, staff and community safe during the COVID-19 pandemic. We are so grateful to our community for rallying together to donate or create masks for our health-care workers.
Using donated materials from local businesses and individuals at home with 3D printers, the CHEO Research Institute created an assembly line to put together face shields!
Through this project, we will be able to supply upwards of 700 face shields to our inventory every week.
Staff across the organization, like our research colleagues, have been redeployed, are taking on new roles and lending a hand wherever they can — all with the goal of keeping kids, families and staff safe.
Thank you so much to everyone who is donating, creating and assembling PPE — we’re smiling with gratitude behind our masks!
