GLMS FOUNDATION GLMS FOUNDATION DONATES PPE CARE PACKAGES TO LOCAL PHYSICIANS On Monday, May 18, the GLMS Foundation donated over 100 care packages of PPE to our community physicians. Local health care workers had the opportunity to sign up to receive a PPE care package containing gloves of various sizes as well as hand sanitizer, donated by local distilleries Angel’s Envy, Rabbit Hole and Evan Williams. Gloves were purchased from funds donated to the previously held PPE drive, to which the GLMS Foundation matched donations. GLMS Foundation President Dr. Thomas Reichard said, “By donating through our drive, donors can be assured that these items will be equally distributed to the entire medical community, not just one hospital or system. Any medical practice or hospital in the Louisville area that sees patients will have access to these supplies.” We are continuing to seek donated items from area businesses, there is still time to make a monetary donation that will be matched by the GLMS Foundation. All donations will be used to purchase new PPE. Physicians can add their names to a wait list (link) to receive supplies once we are restocked.
