Who We Are

Practical Training.
Real Expertise.

We started Lantern to solve the problem we saw firsthand: training that meets compliance on paper but doesn't teach technicians how to actually fix anything.

Wes Reed & Adam Quirk Co-Founders

Founded by practitioners,
not theorists.

Simple goal.
Real impact.

Our simple goal is to provide practical medical gas training to improve patient safety.

We want to make medical gas training more effective, so that technicians can spend more time fixing problems and less time reading code books. And we think training is about investing in your team, not just checking a box.
