Ballad Health Welcomes Handmade Mask Donations For Patients

The demand for personal protective equipment in the battle against COVID-19 has created a severe shortage of the vital equipment and now Ballad Health is accepting homemade masks for patients who present to its hospitals. Anyone in the community can make and donate masks and a sewing pattern and instructions are available at Balladhealth.org/COVID-19. Because the masks are not medical grade, they will not be worn by Ballad team members as they provide care, but can be used as a barrier for patients who come in with respiratory ailments.
