The program started in July 2020 with the help of the state’s Office of Emergency Services to assist physicians and medical groups, and was opened to dentists on May 12.
Although the PPE items are free, providers will have to pay shipping and handling fees to help offset program costs. Items are provided on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last and include coveralls, face shields, goggles, hand sanitizer, sanitizing wipes, isolation gowns, N95 masks and nitrile gloves.
