Now more than ever we are committed to that mission. We are proud to work alongside our customers to do our best to make a positive difference in these extremely challenging times facing our industry and our country,” said John Wood, Encompass CEO.
Recently, Encompass worked with partner Jockey International, Inc. to quickly process and ship 10,000 much-needed Jockey scrubs to the temporary hospital located in New York’s Jacob Javits Convention Center.

Encompass also supplied OR sheeting material to Pheobe Putney Health Systems to be used in the production of surgical masks. “Right now, we’re all being reminded of how important it is to come together and do what we can to help each other.
