BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Catholic Health is teaming-up with a small local manufacturer to produce 5,000 protective gowns for healthcare workers.

According to a news release issued on Friday, the company's owner worked with Catholic Health to create a prototype, then partnered with QSG Technologies to speed-up production.
“In this unprecedented environment, we are looking for creative solutions every day,” said Catholic Health President & CEO Mark Sullivan. “We are so grateful for local partners like Factory Buffalo and QSG Technologies who are willing to step up and answer the call.”
