SYRACUSE, NY – CenterState CEO is providing free personal protective equipment (PPE) toolkits to small businesses in Central New York through a grant provided by Excellus BlueCross BlueShield. The toolkit will include hand sanitizer, protective masks, best practice and guideline posters.
“Businesses across our community have begun to reopen and develop the necessary protocols and procedures to ensure their staff can return to work safely, and making sure they have access to personal protective equipment, especially masks and hand sanitizer, is critical to their success,” said Robert Simpson, president of CenterState CEO. “We are fortunate to have an incredible partner in Excellus BCBS, who understands that access to these tools is essential to small businesses and our community’s ability to drive its economic recovery.”
“Small businesses are the backbone of our communities. As a local health care organization, it’s vital that we support them as they reopen and get back on their feet,” said Excellus BlueCross BlueShield President/CEO Elect, Jim Reed. “Keeping our community healthy is our mission. We’re pleased to support CenterState CEO and our small businesses.”
