Local Telemedicine Firm Donates Equipment to 2 Medical Groups
in Haiti
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (January 25, 2010) — GlobalMedia
Group, LLC, a telemedicine design group based in Scottsdale,
is donating nearly $60,000 in equipment that will allow Intervol
and Partners in Health physicians to treat victims of the Haitian
earthquake.
Intervol, a Rochester, New York, volunteer medical organization,
has sent a team of six physicians to Leogane, Haiti where there
is widespread devastation. Leogane is 29 miles west of the
Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince. Partners in Health, supported
by four major medical centers in Boston including the Harvard
Medical Center, has some 120 doctors and nearly 500 nurses, nursing
assistants and social workers at ten hospitals in Haiti. Both
groups report that their facilities in Haiti have been overrun
with people seeking medical care.
The telemedicine equipment donated by GlobalMedia includes TotalExamTM
cameras specifically designed for telemedicine, CapSure® imaging
software, high resolution remote- controlled cameras for videoconferencing,
and EasyShare® VC, a videoconferencing service.
Joel Barthelemy, Managing Director of GlobalMedia, said, “We
wanted to do our share to help the people in Haiti, so we reached
out and found two organizations that can use our technology.” And
Barthelemy says the company doesn’t want to stop there. “We
would like to double or triple our commitment if the public will
partner with us.”
To do that, the Scottsdale firm is offering to match dollar for
dollar any contribution people wish to make to purchase telemedicine
equipment for Haiti. Barthelemy says every cent of every dollar
donated will go towards the cost of the equipment that can help
deliver medical care to remote areas of the island nation. Those
who wish to donate can call the GlobalMedia Headquarters at (480)
922-0044. Press “0” for operator.
