Konica Minolta to take part in three-day ‘mega clinic’ in April

Konica Minolta has announced its participation in a three-day “mega clinic” from April 27 to 29 in Los Angeles.

The Your Best Pathway to Health event will provide free medical, surgical, vision, and dental services to the public. Your Best Pathway to Health is a nonprofit service of Adventist-laymen’s Services & Industries.

"Across our country, there is a great need for the delivery of healthcare services to those living in poverty and without health insurance or the ability to pay for medical care," David Widmann, Konica Minolta Medical Imaging president and CEO, said in a prepared statement. "While Konica Minolta is committed to providing high quality, reliable point-of-care solutions, our corporate values also include being passionate and accountable not just to our customers, but to society as a whole. We're delighted to assist Pathway to Health in its efforts to help those who are in need of healthcare services."

Konica Minolta is providing two SONIMAGE HS1 ultrasound systems and a Mobile DR System for the event.

"Without the support of companies such as Konica Minolta, Your Best Pathway to Health would be unable to provide the wide array of diagnostic and clinical services that we will offer at the event in Los Angeles," says Melody Pierson, Assistant Department Head of Radiology for the organization. "When we approached Konica Minolta to provide point-of-care solutions that would enable us to efficiently and confidently diagnose and triage 10,000 people at the Mega Clinic, they didn't hesitate to help."

More than 4,000 volunteers are said to be participating in the event. Your Best Pathway for Health estimates that 10,000 people will come to the event for care.
