Gulf Coast Pharmaceuticals Plus Donates Over $190,000 in Personal Protection Equipment to U.S. Government Agencies

OCEAN SPRINGS, Miss., July 2, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Gulf Coast Pharmaceuticals Plus, an Ocean Springs, Mississippi-based wholesale pharmaceutical distributor, is pleased to announce its donation of more than $190,000 in personal protective equipment (PPE) to the Virginia Department of Health and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. As extreme medical shortages continue to plague the nation's communities and healthcare facilities, GCPP hopes these supplies can help alleviate this need.

In light of growing concerns over the past weeks regarding the lack of proper PPE for healthcare workers, Gulf Coast Pharmaceuticals Plus made a concerted effort to secure supplies and contribute critical PPE to government agencies who can efficiently redistribute them to points of need. These donations include Face-Safe protective visors, exam gowns, and single-use, N95, and KN95 masks? all of which are some of the most in-demand supplies at this stage of the pandemic.

"As we continue our fight against COVID-19, we want to express our steadfast support for healthcare workers and first responders," said Gulf Coast Pharmaceuticals Plus President Ken Ritchey. "These people are doing everything in their power to ensure our health and safety during this crisis, so we want to do everything in ours to help."

This donation is one of many substantial contributions Gulf Coast Pharmaceuticals Plus has made towards aiding healthcare workers in the fight against COVID-19, including $30,000 worth of PPE to assisted living facilities, VA centers and state hospitals in the state of Mississippi and $38,000 worth of PPE to healthcare facilities, military bases, and health departments across the United States.

Besides regularly donating PPE and other medical supplies to healthcare facilities, Gulf Coast Pharmaceuticals Plus supports a number of charities and non-profit organizations throughout the country, including the Wounded Warrior Project, St Jude Children's Hospital, Jackson County Animal Shelter, Boys and Girls Club of Jackson County, MS, and Girl Scouts of Greater Mississippi.
