HUDSON – The nursing department of Columbia-Greene Community College has donated several cases of personal protective equipment to Columbia Memorial Health. The gowns and masks were given to the hospital as part of the national effort to supply front-line staff with the items that have fallen into short supply as the COVID-19 pandemic reaches a fever pitch worldwide.

“We packed up everything we could in our lab and filled a trunk with boxes,” said Dawn Wrigley, professor of nursing and department chairwoman at the college. She said the hospital group has been “an extraordinary supporter of C-GCC’s nursing program, and we will do anything we can to help them.”

Jay Calahan, president of the healthcare group, expressed his gratitude to the college for the donation.
