What grantees are saying:
- “I had the opportunity to observe an orthopedic surgery at a mission hospital in rural Kenya where they were using the SIGN nail. When I told the surgeons that I sit on a Board that had chosen to give SIGN a grant to expand their production, they were thrilled and started applauding right there in the operating room. This grant program is having an impact on jobs in Washington and on patients in the most underserved areas of the world.”
