PPE for NYC's Montefiore Emergency Room Providers

Donation protected

Hello everyone! We are a team of Emergency Medicine faculty in New York.  This issue is getting bigger and we are seeing more and more patients daily. While admin is doing their best we want to make sure we are getting the best personal protective equipment we can to properly take care of you while keeping ourselves and our families safe! Several members of our team have already contracted COVID and we need to protect our staff!


Our hospitals in NYC are seeing hundreds of COVID cases every day. A major issue is the lack of personal protective equipment (PPE) - N95 masks, gowns, and face shields. We currently are using one mask for an entire 12 hour shift- seeing multiple patients and performing intubations we need an excess of supplies to stay efficient. 

We are fundraising to get the PPE necessary to help protect medical staff in our Emergency units, so that we can continue to treat patients, while keeping ourselves and our patients safe. These will be shared at will with our nurses, physicians, PAs, and other staff for their personal use. Anything we do not use will be donated to other COVID relief funds.

We realize this is a difficult time for many people right now, and appreciate any support you can provide, whether a donation if you are able, or even just a share with your own community to help us reach others. Any help you can offer, would be much, much appreciated.


*Update:  In order to arrange for withdrawal of these funds in the most transparent, accelerated and efficient way possible, we are partnering with a non-profit that works closely with Montefiore.  Mentoring in Medicine has agreed to serve as a “fiscal sponsor” of our campaign i.e. they will receive the funds and help with the accounting and finance disbursement. They have guaranteed full autonomy in sourcing and procuring the PPE we need. Mentoring In Medicine is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization that works with underprivileged students in 3rd grade through health professional schools. They help sponsor a student, class or program and help to inspire and prepare students to become health care and science professionals. We appreciate the responsibility they have taken on in helping us manage your donations. The funds will be used as initially intended to help secure additional PPE for our staff.
