SALT LAKE CITY, May 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Utah-based spinal implant company Innovasis is collaborating with Eagle Condor Humanitarian to promote a medical expedition to Peru for six spinal surgeons who will spend three days at Lima Neurological Hospital, as well as providing other humanitarian services in Lima and Cuzco.
Surgeons leave June 3 as part of this semi-annual medical expedition and perform surgeries on youth and adults. These surgeons bring with them specific expertise and knowledge often unavailable in Peru. Innovasis is providing funding, materials and equipment for all spinal expeditions.
“Innovasis is honored to be working with Eagle Condor Humanitarian,” stated Martin Crous, Ph.D., vice president of sales & marketing for Innovasis. “Both organizations are committed to enhancing the lives of individuals and families in Peru, as well as other underdeveloped communities around the world. We believe strongly in making a meaningful, positive impact on society. We also welcome and pursue partnerships with spinal surgeons who can offer the latest in techniques and skill in spine surgery to take part in this rewarding and unique opportunity,” Dr. Crous said.
Eagle Condor has six expeditions planned this year, including dental and youth expeditions. Participants in the expeditions include groups of 15-40 volunteers who travel to Peru at their own expense, to train, build, provide medical assistance and implement programs.
