Pembroke, Ontario — Riverview Heights Retirement Residence has issued a public thank-you to the Valley Automotive team.
Last week, staff members delivered much-needed N95 masks to the Pembroke, Ontario retirement residence.
In a social media post, Riverview Heights staff thanked Mary and Brandon Poirier, owners of Valley Automotive.
“A HUGE Shoutout!! To Brandon and Mary from Valley Automotive for the extraordinary donation of N95 masks. We are so thankful!”
Shortages in N95 masks have been a problem for many medical service providers.
After the Coronavirus arrived at a Bobcaygeon, Ontario nursing home killed 30 residents, medical experts have also expressed fear that retirement and nursing homes will likely suffer significant losses due to a lack of basic medical gear.
While now well-known to the public for their effectiveness in hospital settings, N95 masks are used by many businesses in the automotive aftermarket.
Businesses looking to donate unopened boxes of N95 masks should contact local hospitals, nursing homes and retirement communities.
