The Atlanta television production industry is doing its part to help save lives during the COVID-19 pandemic as U.S. hospitals face a shortage of critical personal protective equipment. Fox’s “The Resident” recently donated boxes of the production’s masks, gloves, and gowns to Grady Memorial Hospital.
Karen Law, Emory’s internal medicine residency program director, thanked the production for the donation on her Instagram.
“To the entire team @theresidentonfox, thank you for this incredibly generous donation of #PPE from your set, including gowns, masks, gloves, and all the things our healthcare workers need to provide safe care for our community during #COVID19,” she wrote. “Yesterday, I had a serious discussion with the residents about how, though supplies are low, a magical shipment of masks is unlikely to arrive. And yet, a magical shipment of masks DID arrive, in the form of this very generous gesture. This kind of community support means so much to our #frontlineproviders who are making many sacrifices to staff our hospitals and care for our community.”
