Erlanger Health System is asking for community face mask donations for non-clinical workers and facilities still.
Erlanger has received over 2,000 masks already from the public since starting the program April 8, but the system is still in need of handmade masks that are acceptable in non-clinical areas at Erlanger facilities, a news release states.
It is required that the fabric is 100% cotton.
