Emerson Hospital in Concord alerted the public recently to its need for protective equipment for its staff to help prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus.
On March 23, Minuteman Regional Vocational Technical High School came through in a big way.
According to a press release, Minuteman donated more than 300 packages of various personal protective equipment to Emerson Hospital, and to the Lexington and Lincoln police and fire departments, to assist in the coronavirus response.
Minuteman joins several other vocational-technical high schools across Massachusetts that have donated items such as face and respirator masks, hospital gowns, gloves, eyewear, and hand sanitizer amid a global shortage of such items during the public health crisis.
