OPC donates medical equipment to CRIPCO 

Last March, Operadora Portuaria Centroamericana (OPC) donated medical equipment to the Center for Integral Rehabilitation of Puerto Cortés (CRIPCO) – a nonprofit and apolitical organization that offers physical, mental, and emotional rehabilitation services to members of the Puerto Cortés community, especially those with limited economic resources.

CRIPCO’s physicians and Board of Directors accepted the USD10,000 worth of donation, which included a portable shockwave machine, a pair of laser machines for pain management, wounds, burns, and sports injuries, six electronic muscle stimulators, five infrared heat therapy lamps, 27 round pads spare electrodes, 10 resistance loop bands for exercise, a set of mini fitness bands, a pair of adjustable ankle weights, and a two-channel electrotherapy machine. 

According to Meyvi Castañeda, OPC Corporate Social Responsibility Manager, the Company has been supporting CRIPCO’s efforts since 2013 because of the organization’s dedication and quality of service.

Surpassing 200,000 therapy sessions last November, CRIPCO will continue to improve its services for citizens of Puerto Cortés with the help of the new equipment from OPC.
