According to the Communitas Awards website, the award “is an international effort to recognize exceptional businesses, organizations and individuals that are unselfishly giving of themselves and their resources, and those that are changing how they do business to benefit their communities.”
TriMedx employees created TriMedx Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to elevating healthcare in developing countries to a self-sustaining level. The Foundation collects, repairs, transports and installs medical equipment in impoverished communities. It provides medical equipment and healthcare to more than 1 million people in developing countries, according to a TriMedx news release.
