PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)

 

Members are well aware of the current challenges acquiring personal safety masks, gowns, hand sanitizer and other PPE. Many manufacturers of these products are experiencing months-long waits or are restricting sales to existing customers only. At the same time, counterfeit products have been flooding the market—making it hard to identify trustworthy sources. Experts have advised LeadingAge that members should reach out to local and state governments for help getting needed supplies.

In addition, LeadingAge is actively reaching out to suppliers of PPE to identify safe, reliable supply channels for members to check with to supplement existing vendors. Additional contact information and ordering instructions will be shared here as they become available, so continue to check this page regularly.
