WHY IT MATTERS
Critical care touches on nearly every aspect of health and medicine. Only through partnerships and collaborations can SCCM ensure that all dimensions of medical care are expertly addressed and coordinated to positively impact critically ill patients.
“Upon hearing news of the devastation that was left in the wake of Hurricane Maria, Allied Healthcare recognized the challenges Puerto Rico would be facing – specifically limited access to power and oxygen. We reached out to SCCM to join in disaster relief efforts and connect with the critical care community in Puerto Rico to distribute ventilators we donated for use in pediatric hospitals and clinics throughout the region.”
