Community Response
For more than 25 years, MedWish International has provided medical supplies and equipment to desperately underserved communities throughout the world. Based in Cleveland, MedWish has benefited from the generosity of the world-class medical institutions of Northeast Ohio. Now, during the global health crisis presented by COVID-19, MedWish is stepping up to give back to the local health care community.
Essential equipment to protect front-line health care workers in our community is in critically short supply amid the outbreak. MedWish is working closely with local health care and county leaders to support these teams by providing donations of masks, gowns, goggles, face shields, respiratory supplies, and hygiene supplies.
