Trim-Lok, Inc. CEO, Gary Whitener, underwent surgery several years ago at Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian of Newport Beach, California. He was one of the first patients to have heart valve replacement with a cow’s valve performed by cardiologist Dr. Subbarao Myla. After a recent conversation and special request from Dr. Myla, Whitener donated $10,000 to Hoag Hospital for the purchase of a ventilator. Whitener understands the importance of medical facilities’ access to equipment during the pandemic. It is vital to the health and safety of their communities, patients, doctors, and staff.
“Dr. Myla is more than just my Cardiologist, he is also a good friend,” Whitener says. “He knows the importance of having enough ventilators during this Coronavirus pandemic and reached out to me to discuss the need for more ventilators at Hoag. I didn’t need to think twice about helping. We are living in unprecedented times, and I am honored to donate to such a wonderful hospital.”
