We Remain Committed to You

Over the past few weeks, we have seen the world around us rapidly changed by COVID-19. Daily life has been transformed by social isolation, quarantines, and the overload of our health systems across the country.

We are operating in unprecedented times. We are actively working on solutions, developing strategies and plans to support hospital and health systems. And most importantly, operating as ONE TEAM.

Our client leaders have heard from many of you on the challenges you are facing daily with testing, treatment, obtaining resources and keeping your staff safe. We have mobilized internally, focused on solving problems short- and long-term. Example: we are partnering with institutions across states to identify how the design community can leverage our 3D printing network to make face masks and shields for healthcare workers; we are developing strategies to increase bed capacity and creating a kit-of-parts to convert clinical (med/surg) and non-clinical settings (hotels, dorms, arenas) to intensive care units; we have staff volunteering their time and expertise to help local and Federal responders with testing site strategies; and we have created an internal idea bank for all staff to contribute big ideas that we can test and turn into implementable solutions quickly. These efforts are only a handful of examples of how our staff is stepping up during this outbreak, putting our collective creativity and expertise to work.

Much remains uncertain right now, and likely will for some time. What is clear is that we will all be affected by this crisis in some way and need to help one another out as best as we can. We remain committed to our clients and staff throughout this crisis.

Stay safe.
