Your support says “thank you” in a tangible way for the tireless efforts of healthcare professionals as they care for patients and prepare for the coming weeks.
Donate to support caregivers and local agencies
Our team of dedicated physicians, nurses and staff are working around the clock, along with local partner agencies, to help keep our communities safe. Please consider directing your support to these key roles at the front lines of the COVID-19 fight.
Contribute Supplies & Equipment
SIH has been planning for months and supplies and medical equipment levels are currently stable, but we are grateful for your donations should we see an increase in patients in the coming days and weeks. We are asking the community to consider donating the following items:
Homemade Masks
SIH is happy to accept homemade fabric masks, commercially manufactured masks, goggles that provide full eye protection (front and sides) and clear plastic face shields. SIH asks that all masks be free of interfacing.
Donate Blood
Many blood drives have been canceled due to COVID-19. Blood is still a serious need. There is no evidence to show that COVID-19 is transmitted through blood, so please donate.
