Envision Healthcare Donates Personal Protective
Equipment, Provides Clinical Care
Envision Healthcare continues to answer America’s call for
medical care as COVID-19 cases spike in hot spots throughout the
nation. As part of Envision’s commitment to supporting the
communities it serves, the group recently donated 45,000 pieces of
personal protective equipment (PPE) to the Tuba City Regional
Health Care Corporation, a health system in Arizona that serves the
Navajo, Hopi and Southern Paiute tribes, as they continue to care
for patients.
“As a national medical group, we will always answer the call to
care,” said Jim Rechtin, President and CEO of Envision Healthcare.
“We will continue to support communities like the Navajo Nation
that have been disproportionately impacted by COVID-19. The PPE we
are providing will help save lives during this pandemic, as our
teams work together on the front lines to care for patients and
fight the spread of the virus.”
“We are grateful for the support and donation from Envision,
which helps us continue providing patients safe, accessible,
quality and culturally sensitive care as we fight this pandemic. We
are a strong-willed and resilient community, and together, we will
persevere,” said Lynette Bonar, CEO of Tuba City Regional Health
Care Corporation.
Envision is invested in the health and well-being of patients
and clinicians. The medical group provides care to patients across
the nation in communities large and small. Through its VISTA team,
clinicians are supporting the Navajo Nation in treating
patients.
“The appropriate PPE is essential in protecting patients and
healthcare workers and helping control the spread of COVID-19,”
said Christian Rutherford, CEO of VISTA Staffing Solutions. “We
stand with the Navajo Nation and the surrounding communities in the
fight against this virus.”
