CIMIT adds member, wins grant
A consortium of Boston-area hospitals and universities has added a new member and won a grant to improve inhalation therapy.
The VA Boston Healthcare System is the 12th member of the Center for Integration of Medicine and Innovative Technology. The Veterans Affairs system cares for about 65,000 patients in the Boston area.
Air Liquide, a French supplier of gases and equipment to hospitals and inhalation therapy to patients at home, has given CIMIT a $1.5 million seed grant to create new technologies to deliver treatments for respiratory medical conditions.
