- UPCN Undergraduate Student Virtual Access – Dean Sheila met with the members of the UPINHF Board to present the need for undergraduate students the ability to access via online classwork, publications, attendance in virtual classes, communication and other academic work. This proposal was met with positive responses from all on the board as well as from the Class 1975, the Sapphire Jubilarians. This will be a continuing effort as students will be needing the internet from here on till they graduate. If you want to join UPINHF in this effort, you may contact Iren Roldan – irenibr3@gmail.com
- Adult Ventilator for Philippine General Hospital – The UPINHF Board at its August 6, 2020 approved the proposal to start fundraising for an adult ventilator. The initial response in March to the PGH appeal went towards the purchase of PPE’s including N95 masks. An adult ventilator will cost about $10,000.00. To date we are almost halfway, we still need to raise over $ 5,000.00 towards the cost of one adult ventilator. Join us in this project by contacting Zayda Aberin, chair of the ventilator project, email: enaberin@yahoo.com
