Our Story

Built for the Caribbean.
Backed by decades of experience.

Caribbean Diagnostics was founded on a simple premise: the Caribbean deserves the same quality of diagnostic equipment and service as anywhere in the world. We bridge the gap between world-class vendors and island healthcare.

Kevin Clifford

Managing Partner

With 25 years of experience in the medical device industry, Kevin built his career at the intersection of cardiac care and advanced diagnostics. His tenure at Medtronic, St. Jude Medical (now Abbott), and Guidant gave him deep expertise in electrophysiology, cardiac rhythm management, and the operational realities of healthcare delivery.

In January 2021, Kevin and Holly Clifford acquired Caribbean Diagnostics, recognizing an opportunity to bring fresh energy and operational rigor to a company serving a critical need. Caribbean laboratories and hospitals remain underserved by major diagnostic manufacturers. Islands face unique challenges -- customs clearance, cold chain logistics, small order volumes, and limited local technical support -- that mainland distributors simply do not address.

Today, Caribbean Diagnostics serves 33 territories across the Caribbean basin, partnering with 56+ global vendors to deliver instruments, reagents, and consumables with the reliability and responsiveness that island healthcare demands.
