TISM Playing Their Part in COVID-19

Dr. Gregory Stewart alongside Tulane Athletics has stepped up in a big way to battle the COVID-19 pandemic by donating materials to the Tulane Medical Center to support doctors and nurses that are providing care to those in need throughout Southern Louisiana.

With area hospitals encountering a shortage of personal protective equipment, the Green Wave Athletics Training staff teamed up with the Tulane Institute of Sports Medicine to donate 51 boxes of gloves and 200 procedure masks. "I think everyone was very excited about this," Tulane Director of Sports Medicine and Team Physician Dr. Gregory Stewart said. "Obviously Troy (Dannen) and the department of athletics was very willing to do something. This is all new for all of us and we are just trying to do the best we can with what we have and I think that's what Troy and the department of athletics have done."

Over the past two days, Green Wave Athletics and TISM have provided shipments of supplies to the Tulane Medical Center to help doctors and nurses that have worked tirelessly to stop the spread of COVID-19. "Addressing the need for PPE for first responders and in our health system the priority for our society during this crisis," Tulane Director of Athletics Troy Dannen said. "With no collegiate athletics for the time being, Tulane and other universities have the ability and obligation to address this need, and we are uniquely positioned to do just that."
