UAH donating gear to essential workers

UAH is looking out for those on the front lines here in the Tennessee Valley.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — A wide assortment of critical equipment has been created and donated to Tennessee Valley healthcare workers by The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) campus community during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The UAH Foundation gifted $30,000 to support the efforts. The UAH Foundation Board voted to supply the money to defray costs UAH organizations have incurred in supplying face shields, intubation boxes, cleanroom gowns and other personal protection equipment (PPE) that is critically needed by the state and local health providers.

The College of Nursing; the Systems Management and Production Center (SMAP); the Department of Art, Art History and Design in the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Studies; the Rotorcraft Systems Engineering and Simulation Center (RSESC); and the College of Engineering’s student Space Hardware Club have donated PPE and other 3D printed items essential to the care of COVID-19 patients and the protection of caregivers.
