School districts all across the county are combining their efforts to help healthcare workers on the front lines.
The districts are donating hundreds of packages of personal protective equipment to Butler Memorial Hospital. The distribution took place at Seneca Valley’s administrative offices yesterday afternoon.
Items donated included face masks, protective gloves, and safety glasses among other equipment.
“We are better when we collaborate and work together,” said Dr. Tracey Vitale, Superintendent of Seneca Valley School District. “These donations could save a life – one of our employees, one of our students, one of our community members – or even one of our family members.”
Dr. Vitale, a member of the Butler Health System Board of Trustees, worked with the other districts to pick up the equipment, which is packed and ready to go.
Specific donation items and amount totals are:
New packaged goggles – 292
New packaged safety glasses – 213
Protective gowns – 218
Protective face masks – 712
Protective gloves 19,407
Gently used goggles – 406
Gently used safety glasses – 517
“The first responders, doctors and nurses are the true heroes in this pandemic,” said Dr. Vitale. “This is a prime example of when we all work together in Butler County; we get things done.”
