Local Health Plan donates 15,000 Surgical Masks to Riverside and San Bernardino County Medical Associations


RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif., April 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Inland Empire Health Plan (IEHP) sourced and donated 15,000 surgical masks to Riverside County Medical Association (RCMA) and San Bernardino County Medical Society (SBCMS) Thursday afternoon.

Receiving 7,500 surgical masks each, the two county medical associations will organize and distribute masks to local physicians and staff.

"RCMA has been working tirelessly to obtain personal protective equipment (PPE) for physicians providing care to patients who must be seen in-person rather than through telehealth during the COVID-19 crisis. Without PPE, doctors and their staff put their patients and themselves at risk," said RCMA Executive Director Dolores Green. "In partnership with IEHP, RCMA is able to ensure PPE are being supplied to practices so physicians can continue to care for their patients."

While this is a limited supply of masks, IEHP is making every effort to find ways to help Riverside and San Bernardino County Medical Associations and partners obtain the PPE they need to keep medical professionals safe.

"This is not IEHP's first donation and it will not be our last," said IEHP Chief Executive Officer Jarrod McNaughton. "We'll do all we can to ensure our county partners have what they need to stay safe and continue to care for our communities."
