In particular, Encompass Group proudly acknowledged itself as the source of 10,000 scrub units being donated by Jockey to the healthcare staff at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City. A dire and global shortage of proper personal protective equipment (PPE) has placed frontline healthcare workers in the U.S. on the COVID-19 line of fire. The burgeoning risk, mounting daily, has pressured product manufacturers, government regulators, hospital systems, and supply chains alike to formulate new strategies and tactics for devising and sourcing supplies of qualified, appropriate PPE. Jockey is helping to meet vital PPE needs of frontline doctors and nurses in the nationwide COVID-19 fight. Jockey is committing to donate 250,000 isolation gowns to the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) PPE distribution efforts. The company also is donating localized lots of respiratory and surgical masks in Kenosha, Wis., the company’s hometown. And, Jockey will give the 10,000 units of scrubs to the hard-hit area of New York City.
