The West Parry Sound Health Centre is reaching out to community members in the region to donate any scrubs or lab coats they may have.
Normally the Health Centre has plenty of these items on hand to supply appropriate staff, but with the COVID-19 Pandemic there are currently not enough to meet the need as these items are on back-order.
Donated items will be laundered and made available to clinical staff, separate from the health centre’s ‘usual’ supply to decrease the chance of people taking the virus out of the health centre.
The WPSHC is also in need of N95 respirators, if you have extras (expired is ok) donations would be appreciated.
Donated items should not be taken to the Health Centre, rather to drop-off locations throughout the region.
Anyone with scrubs, lab coats or N95 respirators to donate can drop them off the following locations:
Parry Sound – Fire Hall, 4 Church Street Parry Sound, please leave in a sealed bag outside the front doors
Carling – Carling Rink, 2 West Carling Bay Road, Nobel, please leave in bin
McDougall – Fire Station 1, 10 Municipal Drive Nobel, please leave in blue bin at front door
McKellar – Fire Station 1, 1 Sharon Park Dr. McKellar, please leave in a sealed bag under the covered entrance.
Seguin – Humphrey Fire Station, 115 Highway 141
