Sister City Donates Protective Gear to Truman Med

The Taiwanese city of Tainan, that nation’s sister city to Kansas City, has delivered thousands of pieces of personal protective equipment to health-care workers at Truman Medical Center, a gift matched by a local group.

Nearly 3,000 masks and 300 pairs of eye protection arrived this week from Taiwan to help health-care workers here remain safe during the treatment of COVID-19 patients.

And doubling that gift, the Taiwanese Association of Kansas City matched that mask donation, bringing to 5,800  the number of masks that reached TMC.
