Burrell College student group Protect NM donating PPE to areas in need Leah Romero, Las Cruces Sun-News
LAS CRUCES - Protect NM, a group of students from Burrell College of Osteopathic Medicine, is asking for donations of personal protective equipment they can distribute to health care providers in New Mexico.
The roughly 20-person group is a Las Cruces branch of the University of New Mexico division in Albuquerque. Its mission is to provide PPE to health care providers in locations of New Mexico where there is a need while the COVID-19 pandemic continues to course through the state.
Shannon Chan, media coordinator for the group and Burrell student, said the group formed in March when the pandemic first hit the state. As cases increased, so did their efforts.
