- Carmen Marti

Executive Director Puerto Rico SBTDC (Small Business & Technology Development Centers)

The Course (Lean Health Care) is quite an eye opener about trends and styles in a workplace that are taken for granted but with a review, it can be used as an efficient way and tool.

- Guillermo Barbosa   Manager HIMA Hospital Caguas

It has placed us in front of a mirror to identify our deficiencies and how to improve. Communication is important to understand the processes & information needed from each department in order to operate productively and efficiently.

- Luis Rivera

Supervisor HIMA Hospital Caguas

The Project Management Program for me and my employees has been an enriched experience for my starting business combined with the supporting alliance of the Caguas Incubator & the SBTDC business planning program, I really appreciate the guidance.
