We continue to support the efforts of local community partners who have been making face shields and face masks since the beginning of the pandemic, with attention to proper fit.
Transparent face mask designs safely enhance human connection.
Capacity to produce reusable gowns and coveralls made from Level 3 medical fabric.

Community Assessment
About
In partnership with PhillyConnects (a partner of PPE2PHL under POHPS) and Drexel Health Administration Department, CNEPS conducted a community assessment of nursing homes in Southeastern PA to assess their experience with PPE, current supply and participation in purchasing platforms. We are looking to expand the survey to other facilities as well.
Goals:
To improve communication and coordination channels across local and state government, suppliers, and frontline health systems (including atypical PPE consumers).
To encourage PPE preparedness planning, production, data monitoring and protocols for future waves.
