Supplies Needed at Temecula Valley Hospital
Temecula Valley Hospital (TVH) has the medical supplies and personal protective equipment that are needed to keep their employees and medical staff safe. The hospital tracks inventory several times per day and has put in place conservation measures to protect their resources in order to address the COVID-19 pandemic.
For local businesses with an opportunity to help TVH by donating or selling supplies within existing inventory, such assistance is appreciated. The City of Temecula supports this effort locally to assist TVH.
