Pamela Snite Kerr is currently chairman of the Rotary 6440 Digital X-Ray Project. Rotarians in the northeastern suburbs of Chicago have been asked by the Guatemalan Minister of Health to install 29 additional x-ray machines that use telecommunications to read and diagnose cases in small hospitals and clinics for the population in Guatemala that do not have access to good primary medical care. There is a pilot machine working in a clinic in the Municipal Building in Guatemala City. They are also partnering with the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) to train technicians to run the machines and for maintenance of the equipment and local Guatemalan Rotarians to help prepare the sites for the equipment installation and funding. This has the potential to be a model program for other Latin American countries and possibly worldwide. Northwestern University engineering students were involved in the development of the equipment and Kellogg students assessed the need for these machines to be in the $80,000 range.
