Chicago’s Loretto Hospital could be getting a lot more protective equipment for its staff thanks to contents in a warehouse that has been sitting empty for the last few years.  The warehouse – located on Southwest Side, Chicago – is filled with face shields, gloves, gowns and masks. While some of the items are expired, they are all in their original packages and according to CDC guidelines are thus usable should they be 100% usable.

Therefore, according to Emergency Department Manager at the hospital, Crystal Carey the items will be accepted.  She added that all donations will be “graciously accepted” in order that the hospital will be able to provide the same care as all other hospitals in the region.
