PETER KILLCOMMONS
Introduction
As founder and CEO of Medweb in San Francisco, Peter “Pete” Killcommons guides
his company in providing telemedicine and imaging services; his firm is one of the
few corporations that include a dedicated philanthropic division. Among the
recipients of Peter Killcommons’ charity projects are disaster sites in the United
States and abroad.
Southwest Asia has been a focal point for several Medweb initiatives. In Afghanistan,
Medweb installed and provided training for a deployable telemedicine clinic. This
clinic enables doctors and patients in separate locations to communicate via voice
and visual links. Medweb also improved satellite communications at a lab in
Jalalabad.
Medweb also served Tristan de Cunha, a remote island west of South Africa that can
only be reached by a weeklong boat trip. The company enhanced telemedicine
capabilities and continues to provide technical support and training there.
In the US, Medweb aided victims of Hurricane Katrina with a mobile medical triage
unit on the ground at Touro Hospital and on board the USNS Comfort.
