This fund was established in 1995 by Allied Health Care Products of St. Louis to support research in anesthesiology in the College of Medicine.

Allied offers a variety of products contributing to the health or standard of living of our customers. The company dates back to the 1930s as the medical department of National Cylinder Gas in Chicago, IL.

Allied's efforts to raise the caliber of its manufacturing and customer service operations to world-class standards were rewarded when in July 1998 the company's St. Louis facility earned the ISO 9001 certification, as well as the CE certification for certain products shipped to Europe.

Allied currently maintains its corporate headquarters and manufacturing plant in St. Louis, MO. It has sought to strengthen its leadership position in medical gas, respiratory therapy, and emergency medical products here and throughout the world, and to develop strong partnerships with major research universities, both for new product development and for improving existing products.
