Columbus Regional Health has received many donations from individuals, local businesses, and organizations, and we want to recognize and thank them for their generosity.

We are grateful for the outpouring of support and donations of protective equipment from individual community members and organizations that include Sherwin-Williams, Menards, Lowe's Home Improvement, Cummins Inc. , NTN Driveshaft, Ivy Tech Columbus, Decatur Mold Tool & Engineering, and the Columbus Chinese Association.

Donations received include protective goggles, N95 and surgical masks, gloves, coveralls, other medical supplies, and homemade masks. The Columbus Chinese Association donated more than 6,800 N-95 and surgical masks to CRH and the City of Columbus.

CRH has been testing a variety of types of N-95 masks to fit different face sizes and shapes. Our team has been busy fitting staff with masks, and as of Monday, March 30, 1,200 employees have been fitted. We want to recognize the many CRH team members who have served as “fit testers” over the last few weeks: 

Sonya Wathen, Daniel Noel, Keith Harmon, Paige Boggs, Dana Beagle, Liz Perdue-Halter, Sarah Stater, Dawn Koehler, Hope Baker, Brittany Jones, Hannah, Dietrich, Jill McCain, Kristina Stafford, Pam Barkes, Kim Harmon, Tammy Creech, Debbie Robinson, Laura Brown, Jennifer Monroe, Emily Thompson, Morgan Dilling, Susie Hover, Lisa Saddler, Carrie Cooley, Tamara Wood, Alesha Martinez, Abby Richard, Ashley Hancock, and Dawn Fields.  

Thank you again to all who have donated items. They are very much appreciated. Our staff is well supplied and protected, and we continue to build our reserves thanks to the generosity of our community.
