Maruchi Suquet Mendez's generous support honors her son and improves medical education. Her donation dedicates two rooms in the Albert and Debbie Tano Simulation Center to house full-size Harvey mannequins. These mannequins enhance cardiac examination skills training for medical students. The gift also establishes an annual scholarship for financially needy students who emphasize the importance of auscultation in medicine. Maruchi's vision safeguards the art of auscultation in an era of advancing technology, ensuring students are well-prepared to detect heart issues, including cardiomyopathy.
Your support can help us continue this transformative initiative and preserve critical medical skills.
