Dear Partners and Customers,

As you are probably aware, Hurricane Fiona moved through the Caribbean and made landfall as a Category 1 Hurricane early Monday, September 19th, greatly impacting the eastern part of the Dominican Republic with torrential rain and powerful winds. As a result of this devastating event, over 2,000 homes have been affected and 12,000 people are currently displaced, with many more remaining without power, access to basic needs or shelter. Our hearts are heavy for our fellow Dominicans and neighboring countries going through hardship in those areas battered by Fiona.

Despite this setback, CCD was able to provide transportation means, food options, and most importantly, monitoring the storm path at all times to ensure a safe environment within our two onsite facilities in Santo Domingo, Santiago, and our collaborators homes. We were fortunate to avoid a direct impact from the storm and thanks to a tremendous team effort and preparedness, our healthcare specialists were able to continue providing our solutions to the top U.S.-based outpatient imaging and medical systems business as usual.

When uncertainty is present, it’s important to remember that years of experience and thoughtful planning have gone into making CCD as resilient and prepared business as possible to face up to unexpected eventualities like this.

We are very proud that our CCD family rose to the occasion, demonstrating that Service is our DNA, and are all safe.
