NRC Health Donates 10,000 Face Shields to US Hospitals and Senior Living Facilities
April 15 2020 - 12:22PM
On behalf of its dedicated Associates, NRC Health, the leading
provider of in-depth customer intelligence in healthcare, is
donating 10,000 face shields to support American healthcare workers
who are fighting on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In partnership with Lincoln-based company Higher Order
Innovation, which manufactures educational robotics, NRC Health
will deliver the face shields to hospitals and senior living
facilities across the country over the next two weeks. In addition
to the donation of face shields, NRC Health is also making a
$10,000 contribution to the Lincoln COVID-19 Response Fund hosted
by the Lincoln Community Foundation.
“We are honored to be able to support caregivers across the
nation who are risking their lives to fight the COVID-19 pandemic,”
said Kevin Karas, NRC Health Chief Financial Officer. “Our partners
represent some of the finest people in the healthcare industry, and
we are humbled to join forces with Higher Order Innovation to be
able to assist, even in this small way, the people who are working
tirelessly to ensure our safety.” Higher Order Innovation altered
its manufacturing operations to produce nearly 10,000 face shields
in just 10 days, while NRC Health donated production and
distribution costs. "We cannot thank healthcare workers enough for
the risks they are taking and the sacrifices they are making for
our communities during this unprecedented outbreak,” said Dr. Tom
Frederick, Higher Order Innovation founder and CEO. “As a token of
our appreciation, we are proud to manufacture face shields for the
protection of healthcare workers as they continue to dedicate
themselves on the front lines of this global pandemic.” Since the
COVID-19 outbreak began, NRC Health has prioritized efforts to
support healthcare workers and the Lincoln community, including
cheering on local staff and caregivers during shift changes and
mobilizing efforts to support local elementary schools with
reusable bag donations for students. To learn more about the
