Shimadzu and Red Heritage Medical Partner to Upgrade Native Health Facilities
A new strategic partnership between Shimadzu Medical Systems USA and Red Heritage Medical aims to modernize diagnostic imaging across Indian Health Service facilities in six states. By deploying advanced radiography and fluoroscopy systems, the collaboration seeks to reduce patient referrals and bring top-tier medical technology directly to tribal communities.
Red Heritage Medical founder Brent Watts describes the venture as a personal mission to bridge the healthcare gap for indigenous populations. The company plans to move beyond traditional equipment procurement, treating each installation as an obligation to the communities it serves. Christopher McHan, Vice President of National Sales at Shimadzu, noted that the partnership aligns the company's long-standing engineering expertise with the specific cultural and operational needs of Native health delivery systems.
