A Surge of Support

Communities all across America are scrambling to prepare for the Coronavirus. In cities large and small, hospitals are stocking up and finding new ways to meet the need. For cities like Chicago and New Orleans this has meant converting their convention centers into field hospitals.

In cities like New York and Los Angeles, where these efforts are already in place and cases of COVID-19 are expected to surpass those capacities, hospital systems are teaming up to find and convert additional spaces for beds.

Dignity Health and Kaiser Permanente, two of California’s largest not-for-profit healthcare systems, are one such collaboration. The two systems have combined efforts and expertise on what has been dubbed the Los Angeles Surge Hospital.

In order for the facility to open, the new hospital needs to be fully supplied with everything from bedpans to bedside printers. Shamrock has been called into help with this effort.

As a trusted supplier of wristbands, pre-printed labels, and on-demand printing supplies, Shamrock understands not only what hospitals like this need but also how to deliver them quickly.
