The medical television drama Grey's Anatomy is donating gowns and gloves to help hospitals in the fight against the recent global coronavirus pandemic.

According to a report by Refinery29, the charitable initiative was spearheaded by Grey's Anatomy and Station 19 showrunner Krista Vernoff, who stated: "At Station 19, we were lucky enough to have about 300 of the coveted N95 masks which we donated to our local fire station. They were tremendously grateful."

She continued: "At Grey’s Anatomy, we have a back stock of gowns and gloves which we are donating as well," she said. "We are all overwhelmed with gratitude for our healthcare workers during this incredibly difficult time, and in addition to these donations, we are doing our part to help them by staying home."

The news of the donation was later confirmed by Dr. Karen Law, who practices at Grady Hospital in Georgia. Uploading a picture of the supplies which had been delivered to the medical center, Dr. Law captioned the post: "Thank you for this incredibly generous donation of #PPE from your set, including gowns, masks, gloves, and all the things our healthcare workers need to provide safe care for our community during #COVID19. .

She continued: "Yesterday, I had a serious discussion with the residents about how, though supplies are low, a magical shipment of masks is unlikely to arrive. And yet, a magical shipment of masks DID arrive, in the form of this very generous gesture. This kind of community support means so much to our #frontlineproviders who are making many sacrifices to staff our hospitals and care for our community. [sic]

She added: "Thank you, @theresidentonfox and @foxtv for being helpers. We needed this kind of good news today. [sic]"
