Alternate Supply Channels Offering PPE and Other Critical Supplies

AHRMM recognizes the risks and concerns caused by the severe shortage of personal protective equipment (PPE) that is impacting patient care and safety of health care workers. We recommend reaching out to alternate and non-traditional supply channels, such as veterinary clinics as well as dental offices, clinics and distributors as potential sources of PPE.
