THANK YOU TO ALL PPE DONORS AND VOLUNTEERS!

SOME HEROES MAKE FACE SHIELDS, SHARE A STASH OF N95 MASKS, OR PUT DISPOSABLE GLOVES AND BOOTIES ON THOSE FACING THE UNSEEN ATTACK OF THEIR ARCHENEMY – COVID-19

The Capital Medical Society Foundation applauds those who have responded to the call for donated Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).  During the COVID-19 pandemic, donated PPE is critical for the safety of local healthcare professionals. Supply chains are overburdened, and orders are just not getting through.  Donated PPE is a physician’s armor against the viral attack that compromises health and ability to care for patients. All of the donations were distributed immediately and called into action. The PPE shortages are putting our healthcare professionals at risk. We hope others will join these heroes in protecting our frontline superheroes. The following generous physicians, individuals and local businesses have provided in-kind PPE donations:

• Raymond Bellamy
• Clarence W. Applegate
• Ron Saff, Allergy & Diagnostic Treatment Center
• Patricia Hogan
• Altrua Global Solutions
• Apalachee Center, Inc., Beth Dees
• T. Burnette and Kim Rivers
• Danfoss Turbocor
• Mary Beth English
• Robbie Estevez
• Exiom Health Services LLC
• The Figgers Foundation
• FSU Department of Biological Science, Geoff Brown
• Leon County Animal Control, Cora Aldridge
• Leon County Emergency Management
• Lofty Pursuits, Greg Cohen
• Making Awesome, Will Hawe and his team of face shield makers
• Lauren McCowin
• Leigh Neilson
• Danielle Stanek, DVM, DACVPM
• S. and Chinese National Magnetic Labs, Greg Boebinger
• Wall Control, Conyers, GA
• Woodhaven Furniture, Bret Baker

Many thanks to “Service above Self Volunteers”

Donate Your N-95 Masks & Other PPEs

The Capital Medical Society is accepting drop-offs of any new, unused N-95 masks that community members or businesses want to donate to the healthcare community in Tallahassee. Often the public may not realize that they have N-95 masks in their utility rooms, garages, sheds, basements, etc. Many masks that are purchased for residential and business purposes, for lawn care, for allergens, for paint, for fumes, etc., – are sometimes printed N95 (which quantifies them as respirators).

Details:
Disposable safety glasses, facial shields, gowns, new, unopened N-95 masks, nitrile disposable gloves, surgical masks, touchless thermometers.

Drop off:
Capital Medical Society

March 30 is National Doctors’ Day, a day to recognize physicians, their service, and their contributions to society and communities.  This year, celebrate National Doctors’ Day by choosing to make an honorary donation to the Capital Medical Society Scholarship Fund supporting future medical leaders like Jackie Hanners.

Here is an excerpt from a note we received from scholarship recipient, Jackie Hanners:

“I cannot thank you all enough for making this scholarship possible.  With this scholarship I am able to pay for a years’ worth of car insurance and health insurance in addition to setting aside some for STEP 2 test prep and the test itself.  Thank you!”
Jackie Hanners, FSU COM Class of 2021

The Capital Medical Society is pleased to announce a new membership benefit:  My Green Doctor.  This free program shows how to add environmental sustainability to your offices.   It requires your office manager or you to add only five minutes of Green Team business to each regular staff meeting. You will save money — as much as $2000 per doctor per year– as you adopt wise environmental practices.  In addition, there are free brochures, posters, and other tools for teaching the office staff, patients and families.  My Green Doctor helps us to prepare our patients for the health effects of climate change.

We recommend that you register at My Green Doctor and ask your office colleagues to register at well.  Registration is free, safe, and takes under two minutes:  https://www.MyGreenDoctor.org.  The site is for all healthcare professionals, not only physicians.  Your  office will receive a free certificate for the waiting room just for registering.

Your office manager will learn how to start a Green Team that meets for five minutes as part of each usual staff meeting.  Every meeting is scripted in the “Meeting-by-Meeting Guide” so that there is nothing for your manager to study in advance. The office will read the “Ten Reasons to Go Green” and use the “Meeting-by-Meeting Guide” to make gradual improvements. You can qualify for the Green Doctor Office Certificate in just six weeks!  The $250 certificate is free to you as a member of the Capital Medical Society.

My Green Doctor is a practice management tool that is designed by Florida doctors, is science-based, and is comprehensive.  It is used by hundreds of offices in 50 countries because it really works.  Check out this new, free CMS membership benefit!
