One of our favorite groups, Radiologists Without Borders (RWB), performs excellent work in underserved communities around the world.

We've been a big fan of Dr. Tariq Gill and the efforts of RWB for some time now. Recently, we were able to provide an ultrasound system for an upcoming program that RWB, RADAID international and Together for Ukraine Foundation are planing for September this year. 

If you haven't heard of Radiologists Without Borders, please take a few minutes to review their activities on the website www.rwborders.org or follow them on Facebook .  For years, these physicians and medical volunteers have performed extraordinary work to provide diagnostic imaging equipment, services, training and support to help improve and save the lives of patients around the world.

Here is a photo of our donated ultrasound system sitting beside other material waiting to be shipped in support of RWB efforts.  

Keep up the good work RWB Team!

In an earlier blog post, we highlighted the excellent work of Radiologists Without Borders. In addition to education and training,  the mission of RWB is to bring life saving diagnostic imaging solutions to medically underserved populations worldwide.  To help achieve the RWB mission, Ultra Imaging Solutions recently donated an Esaote ultrasound system for use wherever it is needed.

"We're strong supporters of Radiologists Without Borders," said Patrick Schmidt, president of Ultra Imaging Solutions. "Their vision of compassionate care aligns with ours. We're happy to provide this ultrasound system to help improve care for the community where it will ultimately reside."

RWB depends upon financial and equipment donations to help them achieve their goals. When organizations like Ultra Imaging Solutions donate equipment, RWB raises funds and works with NGOs and other organizations for shipment and all necessary local permits and clearances. 

Dr. Tariq Gill, founder of Radiologists Without Borders said, "We deeply appreciate the support of Ultra Imaging Solutions and the donation of this system. It will be put to good use in our efforts help improve the quality and accessibility of healthcare around the world."

Please visit Radiologists Without Borders at www.rwborders.org to learn more about their efforts. While you're there, please consider volunteering, donating, or purchasing an item from their online store.

When Shelby Iapoce, daughter of Ultra Imaging Solutions co-founder Joe Iapoce, learned of the Wounded Warrior Project, she knew she wanted to get involved.  

Shelby is a member of Fairfield University's women's lacrosse team, which helps raise funds and awareness for the Wounded Warrior Project.  "My family has always supported veterans," Shelby said, "and I wanted to do something for them as well." She found the Wounded Warriors Project to be a perfect match for her desire to support veterans and decided to make a difference. 

Shelby is the driver of the Fairfield Stags Lacross Team effort to generate awareness and support for Wounded Warriors and last year's event at the annual men's and women's double-header raised over $14,000. The team hopes to duplicate or exceed that effort this year. 

Proud father Joe sets up tents at the team's event and helps take care of customers who purchase Wounded Warrior Project merchandise and contribute to this worthy cause. 

Like Joe, we're proud of Shelby's efforts and proud to support the Wounded Warrior Project.
