Dear NJBIA member:
As the effects of the global pandemic continues to rise, the number of citizens seeking care at New Jersey hospitals for symptoms related to COVID-19 is growing. There is a drastic increase in the need for the personal protective equipment required to ensure the safety of our health care professionals.

What is needed:

We know that in times of need, New Jersey’s business community can always be counted on. We greatly appreciate any assistance you can provide.
