FREE FACE SHIELDS

Just let us know what you need
A grateful past free clinic patient wants to give back and help the clinics that helped her when she needed it. She has 3D printed several face shields that she would like to donate to our membership. Let us know if you are interested and how many you would like shipped to your clinic in the survey below. These shields are free to our clinics. Shipping may be covered by grant funds if we are approved for funding, if not, clinics will only need to pay shipping.
