Biography: Jim Gallagher
Jim Gallagher is the founder of LG Medical Technologies, Inc. in East Dundee, IL.
Jim has over 30 years experience working with CT and MRI companies and is very familiar with all systems provided by major OEMs. He has witnessed first hand the expansion and growth of many hospitals and medical centers as well as the mergers of many CT and MRI companies. The result, he feels, is that big corporate mergers have brought about "quality and service" issues because too many companies are out of touch with client needs. Too often, a client has no idea where to go or who to call for necessary, ongoing support. "My vision," says Jim, "is to go back to the days when a client was not just 'a sale' but also 'a friend' who shared the company goals of dependability, trust and open communication for the good of all those directly and indirectly related to the sales and service of CTs and MRIs including patients and referring physicians."
