Donation will contribute to the Children’s Health Fund emergency response and recovery efforts in 21 communities
New York, NY – As the U.S. continues to report record numbers of COVID-19 cases, healthcare facilities around the country are facing growing shortages of COVID-19 tests and personal protective equipment (PPE), leaving many communities without adequate screening and testing services and the medical equipment necessary to fight the pandemic. To increase access to critical testing and screening services, supplement existing PPE, and to support children and families who are facing economic challenges, lost learning, and overall insecurity as a result of the pandemic, Children’s Health Fund (CHF), a non-profit that has worked for over 30 years to provide health care to underserved children and families, launched the COVID-19 Community Emergency Response and Recovery Fund.
