Their friend put them in touch with Mount Sinai, which desperately needed face shields in local hospitals.
After cold-calling plastics companies, Wertz and Herschenfeld sourced all of the materials needed to make face shields. They created a prototype that they took to Mount Sinai, which decided to place an order on the spot for 500,000 shields. Wertz and Herschenfeld then assembled a small army of former colleagues, friends, local tattoo artists, bartenders, servers, and builders to help with production. After amassing a team of 40 plus and pulling many all-nighters, Wertz and Herschenfeld fulfilled the order and have been producing face shields for other local hospitals and medical centers ever since. Their operation is called Shield Our Heroes NYC.
