ROCK SPRINGS– A donation of two big pallets full of personal protective equipment (PPE) was a welcome sight Wednesday for healthcare workers at Memorial Hospital of Sweetwater County.

Harbor Freight donated 140 face shields, 96 N95 masks and more than 60,000 pairs of gloves, according to Angel Bennett, Materials Management Director at Sweetwater Memorial.

“With the majority of our PPE now on back order, this couldn’t have come at a better time,” Bennett said with tear-filled eyes.

PPE and sanitizing supplies are the hospital’s biggest needs at this time, said Deb Sutton, Public Information Officer.
