The Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service empowers communities to respond to challenges.  The COVID-19 pandemic brought a plethora of challenges to many people in the state including the healthcare system.  Healthcare facilities did not have sufficient personal protective equipment to meet the demands that the virus might bring to the front-line workers.  Extension agents from Russell, Clinton, Casey, Cumberland, Pulaski, and Wayne Counties collaborated with the Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) in Somerset, KY to address the lack of personal protective equipment.  Somerset KCTCS used their 3D printer to make headbands for face shields.  Extension agents assembled the face shields using donated elastic and plastic while following CDC guidelines for social distancing.  By the end of the program, Extension agents assembled approximately 3,400 face shields.  KCTCS inspected the shields before delivering them to the front-line healthcare workers throughout the state of Kentucky.  In this time of crisis, Extension agents mobilized to meet the needs of the community and proved to be a trusted partner in addressing this emerging need.
