AAMD Distributes Over 23,000 Face Masks
To Members And Affiliates
In the early stages of the crisis, face masks were
one of the most controversial topics. Many experts
reported masks were not helpful in preventing
the spread, which went against everything we knew.
Whether you watched M*A*S*H, General Hospital,
E.R., or Grey’s Anatomy growing up, face masks were
a consistent character in these medical programs
illustrating one of the most basic medical functions
of preventing a patient from passing along a potential
disease or infection to a doctor, and vice versa. So
when facemasks were not recommended, it didn’t seem
to make sense. More
likely the narrative was
designed to prevent
hording of masks so they
were still available for
medical professionals.
But messaging around
facemasks was as
unclear as anything.
Once it became
clear that face-masks
were a good idea, AAMD
immediately partnered
with Sondra LeClaire
with Corporate Recognition to bulk order masks for
Association members and affiliates across the State.
First an order of 5,000 was arranged and distributed
to AAMD management companies. Members signed
up to receive masks and a “curb side” pick up was
organized in mid-April, where members drove through
the AAMD parking lot and masks were passed through
car windows all day long. This was so popular, and the
need was much broader- so AAMD ordered another
20,000 face masks for members!
