Meeker Memorial Hospital has been gifted with several N95 masks thanks to Forsman Farms of Howard Lake, Crow River Media reported.
Forsman Farms, which has been a top egg producer since its inception in 1918, supplied Meeker Memorial with 1,000 of the recommended N95 masks in an effort to provide resources for healthcare workers.
"We're pleased to be able to make this contribution to Meeker Memorial and to support the people on the front lines of treating the COVID-19 outbreak. This is equipment that we use every day on our farms, but there's a more important, more immediate use for it in helping protect our community," Farm owner Peter Forsman said.
The donation comes after Meeker County announced that there were two people who tested positive for coronavirus. The Minnesota Department of Health said that the state will most likely reach its highest number in the upcoming warmer months.
