Fordham Prep donates medical supplies to St. Barnabas
As New York City’s
healthcare system struggles
to keep up with the growing
COVID-19 crisis, Fordham
Preparatory School has donated
all of the safety goggles
from the school’s science
laboratories to St. Barnabas
Hospital. Also included in
the donation were lab gowns
and several boxes of examination
gloves.
Fordham Prep is a Catholic
and Jesuit all-male college
preparatory school in
the Bronx. Located on the
historic Rose Hill campus,
the school is less than a mile
away from St. Barnabas, a
422-bed, not-for-profi t, nonsectarian,
acute care community
hospital.

Patti, senior attending
Physician of Emergency
Medicine at St. Barnabas

Fordham Prep president
Rev. Christopher Devron,
S.J., learned of the extraordinary
surge of patients at St.
Barnabas and the increased
demand for personal protective
equipment. Fr. Devron

labs dormant, and students
currently engaged in
distance learning, their decision
to donate critically
needed equipment was an
easy one.
“Jesuit education is committed
to service and advancing
the common good. I am
so pleased that our resources
can assist, in some small
way, in protecting our heroic
healthcare workers who
are on the front lines of care
during this unprecedented
crisis. In the spirit of Jesuit
education, they teach all of
us what it means to become
men and women for others,”
Fr. Devron said.
On behalf of his colleagues
at St. Barnabas, Dr. Patti expressed
gratitude for the donation
of 100 safety goggles
and other personal protective
equipment which he will
bring to the hospital on Sunday
morning.
Fr. Devron urged all
schools, colleges and universities
across the city, state
and nation to take stock of
their inventory and give as
generously as possible to local
hospitals as they provide
life-saving care and work to
keep our communities safe.
