It’s #NationalImmunizationMonth, a perfect time to recognize the partners who help RUHS’s Mobile Health Program bring primary care, behavioral health, and public health services to our community. @PacificPremierBank funds dozens of events every year, helping us reach thousands of our neighbors with services where they live, work and worship.

Thank you @PacificPremierBank for having a vision for healthcare for all in need!

Last year in our first ever annual report we were proud to share that RUHS Foundation, through the generosity of our donors and volunteers, delivered more than $2 million in funding for equipment and programs for Riverside University Health System. This year, that amount rose to more than $2.6 million and truly demonstrates that we are set on a course of continued growth in our mission. That is why we are here – to foster friends and philanthropy for our community! Life-saving programs and equipment continue to improve services for our patients, and we are honored to be part of this work with your partnership.

Homemade Masks

We are accepting gifts of homemade masks at this time. We recommend following the pattern here: 

Our guidelines for homemade masks:

• Homemade masks are not considered PPE, since their capability to protect HCW is unknown. 
• Homemade masks should ideally be used in combination with a face shield that covers the entire front (that extends to the chin or below) and sides of the face.
• If they are made from fabric, and are reusable, should be washed with soap, bleach and hot water. Dry in hot cycle until completely dry.
• Recommended fabrics are: heaver, non-stretch fabric as denim, duck cloth, canvas, twill.
• Recommended fabric for the inner lining and filter pocket can be: other cotton, cotton blend non-stretch fabric. It can be thinner and softer.
• Fabric must be laundered in HOT water prior to sewing to prevent future shrinkage.
• Polyester or other less breathable fabric will not work as well, due to moisture produced when breathing.
