Genesis Promotes “Mask Up’’ Campaign For Public Health

DAVENPORT, Iowa – July 22, 2020 – Genesis Health System is asking the public to “Mask Up” for the health of our families, friends, ourselves and the public.

Genesis is inviting the public to create short videos – 5-10 seconds – telling who they “Mask Up’’ for. These videos can be created by individuals or groups. The video should have the name of individual creator, the group, organization designation and answer the question “Who Are You Masking Up For?”

More than 60 videos have been submitted.

The videos can be shared using the hashtags: #MaskUpQC or #InThisTogether. We want to share your videos. When tagging Genesis in your posts, here are the correct names to tag:

Instagram -- @genesishealthsystem

Twitter -- @genesishealth

Facebook -- @genesishealth (type in @genesishealth and then click on the Genesis Health System link)

Genesis is collaborating with community members and leaders, students, athletes, the medical community and the creative team from Graveyard Studios & Underground Economy.

Underground Economy bridges the gap between art and entrepreneurship by providing a variety of media services for businesses and organizations.

Genesis is also sponsoring “Cool Kids Wear Masks,” a mask design contest for young artists.

Submit mask designs digitally (jpeg), post them to the Genesis Facebook page or submit on paper to Stevie Lorenz at (563) 421-9267 or Craig Cooper at (563) 421-9263.

Genesis will have 100 masks made from the design for the winner to share with friends, family, teachers or neighbors.
