Standing up a medical manufacturing alliance for PPE at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Clarity in Chaos. Fusion detangles
COVID-19 Mask Melée
BACKGROUND
It is early 2020. The world is in turmoil. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit us, there were critical shortages of PPE in the region. Whether a hospital, a manufacturer, or a food truck, all had difficulty finding needed supplies and equipment to keep families, workers, and patients safe. Locally, many businesses wanted to produce PPE, but they didn’t have the necessary resources. And, of course, the regulatory landscape was chaos.
THE SOLUTION:
Fusion championed the industry side of a local government initiative, creating an alliance between the public and private sectors to help align healthcare facilities with locally-sourced supplies and resources. Businesses received the support needed to respond effectively to medical supply emergencies through this entity. Fusion gave regulatory guidance on everything from labeling medical supplies properly to what type of FDA clearances were required. We offered expert solutions and advice, whether masks, respirators, gowns, or other equipment.
THE OUTCOME:
A plethora of local companies started making approved PPE for the community. Face shields and masks all covered San Antonio. Literally. Along the way, we united people together during a challenging time.
If you are a passionate, results-oriented change agent, we might be the perfect fit to work together. Our results are the most potent when collaborating with leaders committed to reaching greater levels of performance.
