Our next shipment has arrived in Dallas.  The supplies are waiting for clearance from Customs in preparation for shipping to Charleston.  Once we receive the shipment, we will confirm that all the supplies have been sent.

We will then allocate and plan the 3rd distribution.

This should be our final distribution before we transition to direct shipping from the warehouse to your doorstep!

Stay tuned for updated information.

The 2^nd PPE PROJECT Distribution last weekend was bigger than the first – and a little more complicated.  Due to delay in arrival to Charleston, some Face Shields, Type II masks and Gowns did not make it into the personalized box.  Some items also got mixed up in the packing/allocation process.  We are aware of the specific issues at each Site and with each order.  We are taking this long weekend to re-group and set the stage to address everything.  In the meantime, another shipment has arrived and we will combine and complete our orders.  You will be updated as we have information this coming week.

CCMS’ PPE PROJECT has grown organically with several states and medical organizations joining our platform.  We have coordinated nearly 1 million units of PPE for Doctors!  Remember, the site is ongoing, you can place orders to replace your burn-through rate of PPE.  We have added nitrile gloves and expect to offer hand sanitizer soon.

We are morphing into a true e-commerce site and will very soon announce the availability of DIRECT SHIPMENT to our offices!  We will keep you posted as we roll this out.  Many of the bumps along the road we’ve built will be leveled as we become more sophisticated.

As we all re-open our practices, it is comforting to know that we have PPE supplies to safely take care of our Staff, patients, families and ourselves.

I appreciate your support, patience and understanding – CCMS and our partners are working really hard for you.

Our truck is scheduled to arrive in Charleston at the warehouse tomorrow – Friday morning.

We don’t have 3 Dreamlifters but we have a big ol’ truck on its way from Texas with 89,000 Disposable Masks; 95,000 KN95 Masks and 2000 isolation gowns!  As you can see, our Distributor takes great care to shepherd our shipment through the US Customs process.

We have added BLUE NITRILE GLOVES to the site.  A limited quantity is available for distribution this weekend as well – you can order HERE

There are still some FACE  SHIELDS available as well:  Order Faceshields Here

As we ramp up our practices, clearly our effort will pay off with a steady supply.  We are nearly caught up with all the orders in South Carolina.  There are 6 other states using our platform as well!   All together, we have facilitated over 800,000 units of PPE to Doctors.

Details on the distribution date, times, and sites will be posted here and sent by email – check daily, please. 

Is CCMS working for you?  We think so.
