Across Minnesota, volunteers are at work, filling the gaps in the medical supply chain with 3-D printers, according to an article on the Minneapolis Star-Tribune website.
Volunteers have built thousands of protective face shields to give away to any hospital, hospice, nursing home, clinic or healthcare worker who needs one.
“We’re close to 90 volunteers, [working] 24 hours a day,” said Tyler Cooper, co-owner of Nordeast Makers, a co-working space in northeast Minneapolis.
“The entire supply chain is crazy,” said Dustin Maddy, who is spearheading CentraCare’s hunt for personal protective equipment. “Some people are buying way too much. Some people can’t get ahold of what they need.”
