HUGE thank you to Carmen Flores of Ebb and Flow Beachwear for the donation of masks! We're not an industry that regularly has a big stock of masks, so once ours ran out we've been scrambling. These have an open end for filters and can be washed daily. We are still seeing urgent patients in the office and at the hospital, and we can't thank her enough for her contribution to our clinic! (Anthony and Kendra are not pictured but are also very grateful for the protection!)
