Gary Lindquist to Train Locals in Haiti

Posted on March 9, 2011 by | 1 Comment

Gary Lindquist speaks to NBC25 of Michigan.

Gary Lindquist, a TriMedx clinical engineer at Genesys Regional Medical Center in Michigan, heads to Haiti this Saturday to train locals on diagnosing and fixing medical equipment.

“Just from what I’ve heard and saw pictures of their willingness to learn, that’s encouraging,” he shares with a local TV news program. “The amount of people we’ll be able to help keeping this medical equipment up and running is amazing. People travel for days for medical care, and if they don’t have the equipment running, they need to diagnose the problem. Otherwise it’s a waste of a trip for them.”

Gary’s trip is part of the TriMedx Foundation’s Mission Lifecycle Program, designed to establish clinical engineering departments in each hospital.
