Spurred by the concerns of members in China, Columbia University's medical school alumni association raised more than $1 million to buy desperately needed masks and other gear.
Lo is trying to help fix that. He is also president of Columbia University's Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons Alumni Association. It has chapters in many places, including China.So, several weeks ago, Lo reached out to medical providers in New York City and asked what they needed.
"Within 24 hours, I had dozens of emails," he says. They were in desperate need of PPE like N95 masks, gowns and face shields. He conveyed these needs to members of the alumni association. Since then, more than $1 million in cash and equipment has poured in from more than 200 donors.
