Join us in Closing the Medical Equipment Gap

At TRIMEDX Foundation, our Close the Gap global initiative was created to bridge the gap of disparity in global health, enabling better access to quality healthcare technology and services in underserved regions around the world by partnering with healthcare organizations, technicians, and global communities to provide critical training, essential medical equipment, and technical expertise.

Empowering our partners with equipment, tools, and technical know-how helps to enhance the sustainability and efficiency of healthcare services.

A critical element of our Close the Gap initiative is the Medical Equipment Blitz held each year at our Mission on the Greens Sponsor Reception. Donations of medical equipment and funds to support the cause help to improve patient outcomes by ensuring healthcare systems are equipped to provide safe, reliable, and high-quality care, regardless of geographic or economic barriers.

Here’s why your support matters:

• Bridging Equipment Resource Gaps – Supplying even basics medical equipment allows under-resourced partners to function properly and serve more patients in more ways.
• Restoring Dignity – Access to proper healthcare supported by safe, effective medical equipment ensures that patients in marginalized areas receive the same standard of respectful, safe healthcare as anyone else.
• Empowering Local Providers – Equipping local healthcare staff and volunteers improves patient throughput, reduced provider stress, and allows healthcare workers to focus on healing rather than struggling to address equipment shortages.

When TRIMEDX Foundation sponsors, suppliers, and partners work together towards a common goal, the results can make a life-changing impact on healthcare delivery in underserved communities at home and around the globe.

At last year’s Mission on the Greens Sponsor Reception, attendees came together, raising their paddles for our first-ever Close the Gap equipment blitz, donating more than $300,000 in cash donations and critical medical equipment including ultrasound systems, portable x-ray machines, and surgical tables to equip three clinics:

• Bai Bureh Memorial Community Hospital in Sierra Leone
• Emerging Health Initiatives in Tanzania
• Seeds of Change Free Clinic in Indianapolis

Seeds of Change has received their donated equipment and a container of equipment recently departed for Bai Bureh, and Tanzania.  TRIMEDX Foundation volunteers are scheduled to travel to Sierra Leone and Tanznia later this year to install the medical equipment.

We are excited to expand upon the success of last year’s equipment blitz and the impact we have made together. At this year’s Mission on the Greens Sponsor Reception we will be continuing with this good work, seeking equipment and donations to benefit three new partners:

• Claris Health in Los Angeles
• Cure in Kenya
• Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital

Let's work together to close the gap on global healthcare outcomes.
