To make use of these services, please email Client Services Manager, Ms. Lewis. In the email please include the type(s) of PPE needed, the quantity, the timeline for delivery, and the price range. If you are unsure about any of those variables, please let us know and we can still connect you and let you work out the details with the PPE manufacturer directly.
