Dignity Health, Yavapai Regional Medical Center (YRMC) has stepped up to help donate resources to those in need amid the Dragon Bravo Fire burning near the Grand Canyon.
YRMC recently donated 9,600 N95 masks to the U.S. Forest Service, who distributed them to members of the Navajo Nation, who continue to experience significant smoke exposure from the fire.
“We knew as soon as we heard the Navajo Nation was suffering from the smoke that we had to do something to help,” says Anthony Torres, MD, President and CEO of YRMC. “We are beyond happy to have made the donation and grateful to our team who jumped into action to make it happen.” This donation reflects YRMC’s ongoing commitment to supporting the health and resilience of communities across Northern Arizona.
