Our Values

Purposeful Production

We build practical solutions for tough problems. We are not interested in being everything for everyone.  We utilize first principles to distill our assumptions into actionable engineering and design.  We engage with our customers to deliver the device for the person who is suffering without relief.

Service Oriented Initiative

In a world of lofty titles and pursuits, we value the people who get it done.  Volunteering with our organization is not just showing up.  It is keeping our drive to help those in need in the forefront of your mind.  It is actively pursuing assignments and opportunities.  It is learning what we don’t know and going outside of one’s lane to contribute to the mission. 

Personal Growth

We attract industrious volunteers and give them the framework to excel.  Mindful problem solving is in our roots.  Bold thought and action feeds the enthusiasm of our teams and drives a culture of learning, exploring, networking, and helping.  We become a force for good by allowing our ideals to drive our work so the less fortunate may thrive.

Resolute Integrity

In the business of pandemic relief, we balance the challenges of urgency with those of diligence.  We must be brilliant at the basics which starts with ethical decision making, transparency, and respecting our donated resources.

Tailored Quality

Quality to our customers means that our products are easy to use, low-maintenance, long-lasting, and reliably supported.  Quality to us means simple user interfaces, sophisticated self-diagnostics and maintenance modules, robust hardware and materials, and sustainable customer service.
