Helping SMH manage the COVID-19 pandemic: At its onset, the Healthcare Foundation immediately provided critical resources to the hospital that included funding for infection control robots, Personal Protection Equipment (PPE), specialized staff for COVID-19 Clinical Research Trials, enhanced testing, and employee assistance for frontline healthcare workers.
