benefit to society. I helped a small hospital-Beartooth
Hospital-upgrade the ventilation system for their surgery suite. The
budget was extremely limited, but we managed to dramatically improve
the condition in the space. Although this was a very small project in
the scope of my career, it was very important to the standard of care
that this small rural hospital was able to provide."
