Ricci Family Dentistry donated over $1,000 worth of personal protective equipment (PPE) to the RI Department of Health to help fight the coronavirus.
"Since we can’t use them for the next few weeks, Dr. John and Dr. Eric spent this morning organizing and donating gloves, procedure masks, face shields, and surgical gowns to the RI Department of Health and local hospitals to address the shortage of these life saving supplies. We are still open for emergencies and will see you all back when instructed by the State. We’re all in this together. Stay healthy!"
The post went viral on social media, being viewed almost 30,000 times. The good news found its way to WJAR Channel 10, and the City of Providence Mayor's Office.
