Generous Donation Provides Camera System for Gift of Life Transplant House

Since 1984, Gift of Life Transplant House in Rochester, MN, has provided Mayo Clinic transplant patients with high-quality, affordable accommodations in a supportive home-like environment. It’s their goal to support guests during their transplant journeys. As the largest transplant house program in the country, Gift of Life Transplant House wanted to install a camera system for security and the safety of their guests.

Gift of Life Transplant House had been considering a camera system for years, but it wasn’t until they received a generous donation that they were able to make a surveillance system a reality. “If the need arose, we wanted to have the ability to go back and verify any incidents through our camera footage,” Facilities Manager Ladd Baldus explained. “Our new camera system really provides a peace of mind and level of security that we didn’t have before.”

As to why they chose Heartland Security for this project, Baldus said Gift of Life wanted to work with a local company and cooperative-owned Heartland Security was their top choice. Heartland Security is owned by People’s Energy Cooperative in Oronoco along with 13 other electrical cooperatives.

Along with receiving a free security analysis, Baldus emphasized the ease of working with Heartland Security’s Regional Sales Manager, Tom Vega. “He was very knowledgeable. He understood our needs and was incredibly easy to work with.”

Heartland Security is an upstanding company, said Baldus. “They did what they said they were going to do in a timely fashion and overall, I’m very pleased.” Baldus recommends Heartland Security to any home or business that has ever considered or may be in need of a camera system.
