The New England Patriots plane is soon to be headed towards Haiti after a devastating earthquake killed more than 2,000 people and left over 12,000 hospitalized with injuries. That plane will be filled with supplies and major medical equipment.
“A bunch of construction equipment to help with damage to the buildings. Surgical beds. Blood pressure cuffs. Anything we can use to assist with the damage and help the Haitian people,” said Chris Rogers, Supply Chain Coordinator for Build Health International.
Roughly 40 pallets of emergency medical supplies and building materials will be loaded onto the Patriots Plane, in addition to water and PPE donated by the Kraft family.
This is not the first time the Patriots’ plane has been used for good causes as many vaccinated health care workers got a free trip to the Super Bowl aboard the Patriots’ plane and it was also used in China to pick up 1.2 million N95 masks for health care workers last year.
