Health Plan of San Joaquin worked with our long-time partners, San Joaquin County Medical Society, to plan for distribution in our French Camp parking lot of medical-grade PPE from California Medical Association. On Friday, August 7, we were grateful to provide our central location so over 140 local small and medium-sized practices could safely receive boxes of medical-grade PPE, including N95 and surgical masks, gowns, gloves and face shields. As each practice representative stayed safely in their car, volunteers (including HPSJ staff) loaded these resources that are critical to helping them safely reopen – and stay open. We hope to repeat this orchestrated medical PPE drive-by, as supplies are replenished.

News media coverage for the event included KCRA -TV4 (NBC) and the Stockton Record report featuring an interview with HPSJ Commission member Dr. George Khoury along with photos that take viewers into the day.
