Coronavirus Update: St. John’s University Donates Medical Supplies To Queens Hospital
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — St. John’s University is doing its part to make sure a Queens hospital gets much needed supplies amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The school is donating nearly 200,000 medical supplies to New York Presbyterian Hospital, including gloves, surgical masks and face shields.

“We have a long-standing partnership with New York Presbyterian. This is where our students go when they need medical services, and we’re happy to give back from our excess to help others,” university spokesperson Brian Browne said. “Like New York City, we’ve been through a lot of ups and downs and triumphs and tragedies. Together, we’ll get through this one as well.”
