DCH Biomedical / DME & COVID-19 Preparedness

The DCH Biomedical and DME departments are in the business of ensuring that our healthcare providers have Biomedical Equipment where and when it’s needed. During a crisis like the one we face today, the services that we provide play an even more vital role.

Along with our vast partnership of healthcare vendor support, we have put forth the full weight of our resources both internally and externally to ensure that our medical staff has the medical equipment to effectively provide safe and adequate care for our community and staff.

"We have a dedicated Biomedical and DME team with the required knowledge and expertise to get the job done. It is times like this that truly define our resiliency and willingness to step up to the challenges that we are faced with" - Deron Crotts (Director of Clinical Engineering / DME)

DCH has received a tremendous outpouring of offers from the community to help with everything from donated masks to meals for healthcare workers.

The DCH Foundation stepped in to help coordinate mask and thermometer donations. Now, as donors have reached out wishing to contribute financially, the Foundation has created the COVID-19 Fund.

As an extension of that, The DCH Foundation’s COVID-19 Fund has launched a program called “Feeding the Frontline” to match people who want to help the DCH Health System and local restaurants at the same time.

With a donor contribution of $250 for a single meal or $1,500 for a week of meals, the Foundation staff will connect with a local restaurant, purchase the food, and work with DCH’s Volunteer Services Director to arrange for it to be sent to a department at one of the DCH Health System campuses.

Contact Brandt LaPish at Elizabeth.lapish@dchsystem.com if you are interested in participating.
