The network is supported by the National Governors Association, which consists of governors from every state, and the Medical Device Manufacturers Association. COVID Help Network will allow each state to reach directly to third parties and search for locals willing to help, and offer resources for proper safety protocols.

The network continues to recruit additional brand support and will expand significantly in the coming weeks.
“At this moment, there is no one more giving than health care workers and first responders. It’s the least we can do to try and put our team and technology to work connecting the people in need with the many talented designers and manufacturers in our community that can be employed to help,” said Kassen.
Leanne Wilson, the National Governors Association’s chief operating officer, said “As governors around the country provide bipartisan leadership during this pandemic, working with the public, private and nonprofit sectors, they can access critical medical supplies and equipment through the COVID Help Network that will help save lives.”
