Cardinal’s Chief Development Officer, Vickie Lootens (L) is joined by Paragon’s Sean Miller. Miller is the Project Lead for the intubation shield innovation that was singled out for Sentry Foundation’s award.

WARSAW – Cardinal Services has received a donation of $5,000 from Sentry Foundation.

The award was given to honor Paragon Medical / NN Life Sciences for their ongoing work during the pandemic, making reusable N95 masks and intubation shields to reduce transmission of the virus.

Asked to designate a recipient of the award, Paragon selected Cardinal Services.

In making the announcement, Paragon’s Tabitha Cooper said that “Paragon Medical / NN Life Sciences could not imagine a better organization to direct the dollars to. Cardinal’s work with people with disabilities and young families makes them and their future in our community a clear priority for us.”
