The Northern Nevada State Veterans Home recently received a donation of approximately 500 N-95 masks from Sharon Oren and David Diloreto from the Maccabee Group and Max Haynes from Alpen Mortgage in Reno.

Their continued contributions have been greatly appreciated by our department and the staff at the home. These donations are critical and help to protect team members  and residents from the COVID- 19 virus.

The Maccabee Group and Alpen Mortgage donations are greatly appreciated in this time of health care supply shortages.

While our supplies are adequate for now, until this public health situation is over, we will continue to request assistance in securing personal protection equipment or PPE. This includes medical grade gloves, N95 masks, medical grade gowns, and face shields. Due to a nationwide shortage, the need for medical grade PPE will remain a continual need.
