Dear Chicago LTCF Healthcare Providers

As we have seen for the duration of the COVID-19 response, medical surge can happen at any time, and without warning. Your facility’s medical surge capacity is essential to the life and safety of your staff and residents. To help LTCFs plan and optimize the use of PPE in the event of medical surge, The Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) Preparedness and Emergency Response Bureau & the CDPH Hospital Preparedness Program would like to deploy a cache of PPE to your facility. This will better prepare for the potential shortage of critical supplies during future planned and unplanned events & emergencies.

Please complete this brief survey to help us determine your facility’s needs. Only one survey per facility is required. And we will be in contact with you soon to schedule the delivery of your LTCF PPE Kit(s). Each kit will include a variety of PPE such as face shields, gowns, gloves, face masks, etc.

Click here to start survey.

Please reach out to Faye Thanas with any follow-up questions or request additional information about resources and exercises /trainings available to your facility at faye.thanas@cityofchicago.org.
