Multi-channel retailer, Uniform Advantage (UA), has generously donated over $164,000 in UA gift cards to front-line healthcare professionals to assist them in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.
Each gift card is valued at $65 and was given to healthcare professionals who have traveled recently to COVID-19 hot spots in the United States. They were distributed by travel nursing agencies such as Wanderly, Travel Nurse, and Aya.
“As COVID-19 changed our industry, our travelers have had to switch gears quickly to fill needs all across our country,” said Vice President of Wanderly, David Deane. “At Wanderly, we allow our traveling healthcare providers to compare various assignments as they choose the right assignment and agency to work with. They are truly doing heroic work, and the Uniform Advantage gift cards have allowed them to worry about one less thing throughout their day while simultaneously gifting them to show appreciation and support.”
Specializing in medical uniforms for the medical and hospitality sectors, Uniform Advantage has been a multi-channel retailer for over 30 years and has recently demonstrated its ongoing commitment to support the medical industry amid the global crisis.
In addition to gift cards, they’ve also donated personal protective equipment (PPE) and fabric to healthcare workers and local communities. In response, team members and employees have stepped up to the task and have created more than 4,000 masks in record time.
“We are putting our mission of supporting those who support others into action,” said Susan Masimore, Chief Executive Officer of Uniform Advantage. “We are proud to serve the healthcare community and give to the healthcare heroes that are selflessly fighting to keep us safe.”
