The grant was given by the Medtronic Health Equity Assistance Program with help from the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy and Amazon Web Services.
The Medtronic Equity Assistance Program is donating 133 GI Genius modules to 62 facilities across the country to improve care for underserved communities, the release said.
