WASHINGTON — Action for Health is excited to announce today its latest partnership with the Safe Repair Project. This initiative is dedicated to ensuring that individuals responsible for servicing or repairing medical technology used in patient care and diagnostics are properly qualified and adhere to Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines.

With right-to-repair policies now enacted across all 50 states, it is essential to emphasize the importance of prioritizing patient safety by ensuring that medical device repairs are performed by regulated professionals.

This important collaboration will support policies aimed at protecting patient welfare by advocating for the inclusion of medical device exemptions in any right-to-repair legislation. Together, Action for Health and the Safe Repair Project will be working to ensure that patient safety remains a top priority. Their efforts will also focus on medical devices consistently meeting high repair standards and protecting against potential malfunctions through appropriate policy exemptions.

"We are thrilled to collaborate with the Safe Repair Project," stated Christopher Sheeron, president and founder of Action for Health. "Our commitment to fair healthcare outcomes is unwavering, and this partnership underscores our dedication to patient safety. By ensuring that medical device repairs are performed solely by trained and regulated professionals, we uphold the highest standards of care. Every patient deserves access to safe, high-quality healthcare from reliable providers. With this new partnership, we will be strongly supporting initiatives that safeguard medical devices from legislation that could jeopardize patient well-being."
