N95 masks & PPE supplies
We want to share some options in response to the questions we received regarding PPE supplies.
The Department of State Health Services recently removed their restrictions on who could obtain PPE from the state. Now when a health care provider cannot obtain PPE from their vendors and has exhausted all options to obtain PPE and supplies are nearing depletion, the health care provider may submit a request to the state through a State of Texas Assistance Request (STAR) by working with their local emergency management office or disaster district coordinator. Contact your Texas District Coordinator to find out who your local emergency management representative is.
Please note that requests will be filled based on availability of supplies and are not guaranteed.
We were informed today that TDA members are eligible to order one box of 50 N95 respirators while supplies last. TDA members may begin ordering immediately. There will be a nominal fee of $40 for shipping and handling, plus credit card processing fees. Non-member dentists may begin ordering at 3:00 p.m. on Friday, May 29, 2020.
Please visit https://www.summitppe.com/ to place your order.
We will pass along any additional information we receive on PPE supplies.
Best,
TAPD Executive Board
