PPE Donations by UofA Med School and IRIS USA
Surprise-based IRIS USA recently donated more than 11,000 masks to The University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix. This donation came about thanks to a student-led initiative started by second-year student Kylie Kilian, who had been sewing cloth face masks herself to donate to those in need. As she recruited more students to help, it quickly grew into a much larger operation, which has since provided donated masks and other necessities to the Navajo Nation, the Refuge Health Clinic and other hard-hit populations. IRIS USA was impressed by the selfless actions of these students and was happy to aid their efforts through this donation.
