The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) coordinated shipments of personal protective equipment (PPE) to more than 15,000 nursing homes across America. These shipments provide a 14-day supply of PPE to staff working in the nursing homes.
The agency sent the first shipments with a seven-day supply starting in May and a second wave in early June. In total, FEMA will distribute 608,000 pieces of eye protection, 6.9 million masks, 6.4 million gowns, and 31.4 million pairs of gloves.
Area locations that received PPE shipments include Penn State Health Transitional Care in Hummelstown, Rehabilitation Center at Brethren Village in Lancaster, Kadima Rehabilitation and Nursing at Lititz, Kadima Rehabilitation and Nursing at Palmyra, and Elizabethtown Healthcare and Rehab Center in Elizabethtown.
