Prisma Health along with Governor Henry McMaster, Atlas Air, Boeing, Discommon Founder Neil Ferrier, and members of South Carolina’s Congressional Delegation will greet and unload a Boeing Dreamlifter – a converted Boeing 747-400 Large Cargo Freighter – filled with surgical ear loop masks.
The Dreamlifter will be transporting roughly 1.5 million medical-grade 3-ply surgical face masks bound for healthcare professionals at Prisma Health in South Carolina.
