At this time, Knoxville Hospital & Clinics is not accepting hand-sewn face masks. According to the hospital, the safety of their patients, providers and colleagues is their top priority. The hospital, along with other health systems, use personal protective equipment (PPE) according to CDC guidelines. If you are able to donate factory-made personal protective equipment (N95 masks, gowns or face shields), please call 641-842-1485 and the hospital will coordinate pick-up.

KHC is deeply committed to providing the appropriate level of PPE for all of our colleagues, and they continue to work daily with local and state government agencies and are exploring partnerships with businesses to secure additional PPE as they navigate a national supply challenge. The hospital encourages everyone to practice social distancing and stay home whenever possible.
