BERLIN, Md. — Having been the beneficiary of donated food, hand sanitizer, handmade masks and other supplies for front-line workers during the pandemic, Atlantic General Hospital is now paying it forward to Ukraine.

On Tuesday, Atlantic General’s Materials Management team helped load $30,000 worth of medical supplies onto a Schell Brothers truck bound for Wilmington, Delaware. The donated cases of isolation gowns and coveralls, gloves, masks, body bags, face shields and hydrogen peroxide wipes are bound for Ukraine and relief groups providing first aid, home medical care and evacuation of wounded Ukrainian soldiers and civilians.

The effort was organized by Ryan Nellans, an Atlantic General Hospital Foundation member and owner of the Berlin Sconer bakery, who reached out to the hospital last week requesting support.

Once they arrive in Wilmington, the supplies will be flown overseas.
