How the movement started

Launched in May 2020 by two Iowa doctors, 'Mask of Wellness' is a positive approach that promotes responsible behavior that is necessary to keep society open during this pandemic while benefiting social, physical, and economic wellness. David Krupp, M.D. and Robbie Schwenker, Pharm.D. developed the simple safety method and self-certification program to help preserve the nation’s economy while at the same time maintaining healthy practices for the public.
