(August 21, 2020) The OOA has teamed up with ActionPPE.org to help OOA members and their practices operate safely with proper personal protective equipment (PPE). Supplies are offered at a discounted rate from a vetted bulk supplier.
Through this new group purchasing plan, members can buy KN95 masks which include the FDA owner/operator registration and other specific language on the boxes; disposable tri-fold masks; gowns; and face shields. Gloves and hand sanitizer will be added soon.
OOA Executive Director Matt Harney said he worked with the Executive Committee on the project. “In the midst of a pandemic, the OOA continues its expansion of member value,” he said. “We recognize the ever-increasing PPE needs of our members and this partnership with ActionPPE will be a part of the solution.”
List prices have already been reduced—and OOA members get an additional 5% discount. (Contact ctatman@OhioDO.org for the discount code or check your OSTEOFACTS.) Orders are placed online and shipped directly. Questions may be directed to support@actionppe.org for fastest service.
Launched in South Carolina by the Charleston County Medical Society, ActionPPE was formed to help independent practices and has distributed over 2 million PPE pieces so that medical offices can operate safely.
