“We turned a former patient unit on our third floor in our older hospital building into a ‘containment unit,’ complete with infection-control barrier walls and negative-pressure rooms,” said James Pettinato, RN, director of Patient Care Services.

“First, we cannot thank enough the many people who were able to sew masks for us and deliver them to us in a short period of time,” said WMH Chief Executive Officer David Hoff. “We are extremely grateful.”

Walmart/Honesdale donated $800 worth of fabric for barrier gowns and dozens of local folks who sew and/or quilt offered to make the needed items.
