Do you know how to sew? The Heart Institute needs your help.

April 29, 2020

We are moving towards universal masking when social distancing can’t be practiced. This includes our patients coming in for an appointment. During this pandemic, there is a shortage of surgical masks available to the public, which is why we are asking for your help.

If you sew and have time, we ask that you please consider giving your time to sew and donate masks to our patients.

For more information on how to safely sew and donate masks to the Heart Institute, please download the following document:

For questions, please email UOHI's Department of Communications.

Thank you for helping us keep our patients safe.
