partners TOGETHER Commercial Printer Creates, Delivers 2K Face Shields to Parker Jewish Institute Parker Jewish Institute gratefully received 2,000 face shields created and delivered by Hatteras, a commercial printing firm in Tinton Falls, New Jersey. The face shields are for Parker’s dedicated health-care workers on the frontline at Parker Jewish Institute as they tend to patients, many of whom are the populations’ most vulnerable to the unrelenting coronavirus. Bill Duerr, the president of Hatteras, described the experience as “most humbling,” adding “there’s been an overwhelming response.” Like other companies, the firm saw business slow once the pandemic hit, so Duerr sought ways to put his resources to good use. “I saw there was a big need for face shields made of materials that we typically print on,” Duerr said. He found a prototype to create the face shields. And in one week his team created and donated 7,000 face shields to local hospitals. 20 Adviser a publication of LeadingAge New York | Summer 2020
