Provide for the Needs of Healthcare Workers
There are various urgent needs for Frontline Workers (nurses, doctors, healthcare workers and providers).
Go Electric is focusing on one way we all can help now.
A simple tool, called Pulse Oximeters, is desperately lacking in many hospitals and clinics. This device monitors the saturation of oxygen in the blood.
During the current pandemic, pulse oximetry has allowed healthcare workers to properly evaluate the condition of patients diagnosed with COVID-19, while accomplishing the following:
- evaluating efficacy of ventilators
- evaluating whether the patient needs additional help breathing
- determining efficacy of supplemental oxygen therapy and new treatments*
Join our team of volunteers and personally help deliver Pulse Oximeters to those most in need!
See: https://goonlyelectric.org/healthcare-needs/
"One of the devices we need in this work are pulse oximeters. Patients are being trained to either manually check their breathing or to purchase a pulse oximeter.
Unfortunately, pulse oximeters are not a covered benefit for most insurers and we are seeing a high rate of unemployment due to the outbreak."
Valley Medical Center is a public hospital located near Seattle. They have reported "a disproportionate share of vulnerable populations that have shown to be at-risk to COVID-19 infections." "Besides a high proportion of Medicare and Medicaid patients, our hospital district is home to one of the most ethnically and linguistically diverse populations in the U.S," our contact further relays. "We see a high proportion of immigrant populations, especially, from Russian, Vietnamese and Latino communities. This results in a high level of health equity and social determinant issues that negatively impacts the health status of our community."

Mission Statement
Go Electric 501C(3) Charity is determined to produce a significant impact in three areas: 1. Climate reversal through the use of clean energy. 2. Disaster relief using our service to transport supplies and people to communities hit by disasters, while helping alleviate climate change problems caused by gas vehicles. 3. Assistance to First Responders by delivering supplies and providing transportation
Description
Go Only Electric started in 2019 as a concept designed in response to a growing need in the Seattle area, combined with a very real concern over climate change.
We have blossomed into an organization intent on providing for real-world needs (such as pulse oximeters for Valley Medical Hospital) and campaigning for signatures to pinpoint where our next electric vehicle would best be used.
Go Only Electric has also paired with a local artist who uses repurposed / recycled materials to transform plastic waste into unique works of art.
