Medical Equipment Modernization Opportunity IN FEBRUARY 2004, Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre moved to its new site. Some of the equipment and furnishings left behind at the two former sites of TBRH, not obsolete by some standards, still functioned well. MEMO (Medical Equipment Modernization Opportunity) decided to act on this opportunity to remove “older” equipment and send it to two designated hospitals located in Placetas, Cuba, and Cebu City, Philippines. Retired Thunder Bay family physician, Dr. Jerome Harvey, and TBRHSC Surgeon, Dr. Gabriel Mapeso, formerly from the Philippines, along with the efforts of many volunteers from the Evangelical Free Church of Canada, enabled this project to achieve outstanding success. Equipment was carefully dismantled, crated, stored, and then transported by rail and ship to its destinations.

An accompanying team of technicians and medical professionals helped instruct and orient local health care professionals to the equipment. With the success of the project, MEMO anticipates shipping additional life-saving and life-enhancing hospital equipment from the former sites of Thunder Bay Regional Hospital and from St. Joseph’s Care Group. Dr. Gabriel Mapeso has received the TBRHSC President’s Award of Excellence for his exemplary efforts ensuring the successful implementation of the MEMO project.
