“Prior to modern disposable masks, washable fabric masks were standard use for hospitals,” said Dawn Rogers, MSN, RN, FNP-C, Patient Safety & Infection Prevention Office in a release to media.  “We will be able to sterilize these masks and use them repeatedly as needed. While it’s less than ideal, we want to do our best to protect our staff and patients during this pandemic.” 

In their instructions, the hospital asked:

• Use tightly-woven cotton fabric.
• Please remember that both women and men in a variety of roles may wear these masks.
• Collected masks will be immediately sent to laundry/processing to be prepared for use.
• Any surplus masks will be distributed to other organizations in need.
