Teleflex Purpose-Driven Trivia Challenge
Supports ARCF Efforts to Honor Respiratory Therapy History
Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE:TFX), a leading global provider of
medical devices for critical care and surgery, donated $25,000 to
the American Respiratory Care Foundation (ARCF) as part of its
Purpose-Driven Trivia Challenge at the Teleflex booth during the
American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC) Congress 2013 in
Anaheim, CA, November 16-18.
The trivia challenge tested attendees’ knowledge of respiratory
therapy in practice, including clinical protocols and safety
standards. In partnership with ARCF, every successful trivia
challenge participant personalized a brick for the ARCF virtual
museum which helped Teleflex towards the donation goal. With the
help of AARC Congress attendees, Teleflex donated a total of
$25,000 to the American Respiratory Care Foundation at the AARC
Congress 2013.
The trivia challenge was a key component of the Teleflex AARC
Congress 2013 presence — a presence designed to celebrate the past
and build for the future of respiratory care. The challenge
benefited the American Respiratory Care Foundation and supports
their efforts to build a virtual museum that honors the
contributions of respiratory therapists and equipment advances
throughout modern medical history as well as their purpose of
supporting research, education and charitable activities.
“Teleflex, with its donation of $25,000 for virtual bricks in
our virtual museum, is helping to facilitate future development of
the ARCF,” said Michael T. Amato, Chair, ARCF. “The bricks reflect
building blocks for the continual evolution of respiratory
care.”
The ARCF is a not-for-profit organization formed for the purpose
of supporting research, education, and charitable activities. It
seeks to educate the public about respiratory health and assist in
the training and continuing education of health care providers.
Teleflex, a recipient of the 2013 Zenith Award from the American
Association for Respiratory Care, has a strong history of
delivering practical innovation pioneered by physicians and
clinicians.
“The AARC Congress is the pinnacle of our year’s engagement with
the broader respiratory therapy community,” said Cary Vance,
President, Anesthesia & Respiratory Division, Teleflex. “In
addition to hosting the Purpose-Driven Trivia Challenge, we enjoyed
sharing updates on our portfolio of proven medical brands,
products, and technologies, as well as sharing our approach to
purpose-driven innovation with conference attendees.”
