FASTSIGNS® of Jacksonville, FL - St. Johns Bluff quickly shifted its production lineup to devices that help health-care professionals. Franchisee, Todd Helfer, was re-thinking his company model for sustainability in a way that would also help others. Tasking his team with brainstorming new ideas for using the equipment and materials they had has led to him and his 14 employees now producing three products (sneeze guards, face masks and inhibitors) that will be of help for doctors, nurses and businesses that require face-to-face contact with customers. The “inhibitors,” 20-inch by 20-inch boxes made of acrylics, will enable doctors and nurses to take a patient’s vital signs and examine their throat, nose or ears with much lower risk to germs from sneezes or coughs. The team donated these to the Mayo Clinic and more will be made for Baptist Health. Facemasks for health-care workers and first responders, made of flexible acrylics, and sneeze guards that can be placed between employees of a business and customers have also been in their pipeline. These items have been both donated or sold at a low cost.
