VIASYS Healthcare Critical Care Division cited for Ventilator-camp Support The VIASYS Healthcare Critical Care Division received recognition in the May 2001 issue of AARC Times for its contributions to the Summer Camps for ventilator-dependent children. To quote the article, "Support comes from a wide variety of sources, but all of these camps got a boost last year from a corporate sponsor from the respiratory care industry. VIASYS (formerly Thermo Respiratory Group) helped to fund Trail's Edge, Camp Pelican, and the SKIP camp through a special program begun in January of 2000, which has so far donated $5,000 to these camps and two others. 'We wanted to give something back to the respiratory community, our customers, and more importantly, the patients who rely upon our products every single day,' says Becky Mabry, RRT, the company's vice president of marketing. 'These organizations offer an extremely valuable service to a group of extraordinary people.'" |
