Oasis Senior Advisors Partners to Produce, Distribute Face Shields to Healthcare Facilities
Oasis Senior Advisors (www.oasissenioradvisors.com/lincoln) corporate offices recently partnered with a high-tech printing company in New Jersey to produce plastic face shields and deliver them to hospitals and nursing facilities nationwide. Lincoln Oasis franchisee owner Beth Friesen helped by distributing them locally, thanks to an opportunity that arose from a deep desire to help healthcare workers, a commitment to communities, and a decades-long friendship.
It started with Oasis Senior Advisors corporate President John Benbrook, who reached out to high school friend Don Terwilliger, president of Digital Color Concepts, a high-tech printing company based in Mountainside, NJ, to inquire about their operation producing the shields. His friend jumped on the opportunity, and a project was born. Beth quickly reached out to several healthcare facilities that she partners with in Lincoln, and they were eager to get more face shields to continue providing adequate protection for their staff members and potential patients.
Digital Color Concepts has the capability of producing 500 shields a day and could make up to 17,000. This is at zero cost to those receiving the shields. There are shipping costs involved, but those are being donated by the franchisees distributing the face shields, including Beth.
“In the spirit of cooperation during this time, we truly wished to just donate the face shields and we happy to be able to do so,” she said. “It felt absolutely amazing to be able to provide such a valuable PPE product for our healthcare partners, and they were very thankful to receive them!”
