As the COVID-19 pandemic remains a threat in North Texas, The University of Texas at Dallas continues to help protect area medical professionals against the novel coronavirus. After a March 21 donation of personal protective equipment (PPE) to Parkland Health & Hospital System, Dallas County’s public hospital, University staff and faculty have made similar contributions of PPE supplies to UT Southwestern Medical Center and Methodist Richardson Medical Center. The UT Dallas Office of Research has spearheaded the ongoing collection of supplies from labs as research activities on campus have transitioned to a maintenance-only mode of operation. “Under normal circumstances, UT Dallas’ mission of teaching, research and service includes service to the community and the world,” Pancrazio said. Kathan McCallister, assistant vice president of research operations, coordinated the initial response to the first request from Parkland.
