Sam Solakyan in the Pursuit of Advancement
11:27 AM

Sam Solakyan epitomizes the traits of a successful entrepreneur with
his ceaseless determination and ingenuity. One for sharing his visions and
making them a reality, Solakyan has been avid in the advancement of medical
technology and distributing them out to the public.
In 2012, Sam learned about the growing decline in medical
technologies and emergency response equipment at his local community hospital,
Providence St. Joseph Medical Center. He quickly extended aid to bring in what
the hospital required. During mid-February, he was honored for his charity
and was offered a Commendation from the city of Burbank. “In a
rapidly growing population like ours, we absolutely must find a way to provide
health, safety and peace officers with the most state of the art and up to date
equipment necessary to do their job. Recent events and statistics have proven
that without state of the art emergency response systems in place, timing
rescue of injured victims or responding to potentially dangerous criminal
situations take longer therefore endangering lives. If we as citizens can find
the resources to provide these, we will be grateful if, God forbid, we find
ourselves in a crisis situation. Emergency situations are the great equalizer,
they happen to the rich and poor alike regardless of race, color or creed,” said Solakyan during his address. He
continued during his address to say, “I grew up
in The Valley and my first job opportunity was right here in Burbank. I will
always be proud to give back to the community that has given so much to me over
the years and continues to be the place I call home for me and my family.”
As CEO of Vital Imaging, Sam Solakyan has been
behind the recent developments of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and X-Ray
technologies. These new devices have been placed in many hospitals and medical
centers in the Beverly Hills and Los Angeles areas. These new machines are the
corner stone of Solakyan’s determination to allowing all to get the medical
care they need.
