Medical Equipment Donated to Support Humanitarian Missions across the Globe
SALT LAKE CITY -- Petersen Medical, a leading provider of home medical equipment and dedicated in-home professional service, today announced a donation of medical equipment to CHOICE Humanitarian. CHOICE, an organization well known for creating systems of self-development whereby third-world villagers have the skills and resources to improve their own lives, will use the equipment to support missions to Kenya, Guatemala, Bolivia, Mexico, Vietnam and other countries in need.
"This is a very generous gift that Petersen Medical is making available to villages with medical needs," said Mitchell Wade, CEO of CHOICE Humanitarian. "Often located in rural and poor areas, it's very difficult for these villages to get access to this type of equipment. We are extremely grateful for the donation."
