Mr. Lujan,

I’m trying to stay open to serve the healthcare needs of my community. 

My supply of PPEs is extremely low  and once I’m out I will have to close my clinic as it will be unsafe for my employees. 

I have emailed the NMDOH at the email address you provided in your latest COVID-19 newsletter to get more PPEs and have not had a response.   

I called the number you provided in your newsletter to get more PPEs and they do not pick up the phone. 

Current OSHA and CDC guidelines do not allow me to reuse my PPEs.
