Hunt Regional Using Robot To Sterilize PPE

Hunt Regional Healthcare

Pud Kearns with Housewarmers of Greenville and Bras for the Cause says the Hunt Regional Medical Centeris using a robot provided by Bras for the Cause several years ago to sterilize personal protective equipment (PPE) each day.  The robot was originally provided to sterilize cancer-treatment facilities with ultraviolet light, but Hunt Regional realized it could also be used to sterilize valuable PPE in the coronavirus crisis.  Pud also says she believes most Hunt County businesses are resourceful enough to survive the pandemic.
