We had an incredible week launching our newest Health eVillages pilot at the Teche Action Clinics in Franklin, Louisiana!  It was great to see our global program start helping healthcare providers and patients in the United States.  The challenges rural Southern Louisiana health centers face was made worse by the 2010 oil spill.  A recent [...]

The Health eVillages team spent last week at Regis College visiting our Haitian nursing users and launching the Health eVillages Regis College Outreach (HERO) program.  It was a pleasure to spend time with these women.  We hadn’t met with them in-person since last summer when we updated their devices with a number of 3rd party [...]

It is so easy to come home from these trips abroad and fall back in to our daily routines. What is important is to never forget the people, the communities behind the cause. There are countless charities around the world, working tirelessly, day after day, to improve the lot of their people.

We spent today training at Kijabe Hospital here outside of Nairobi, Kenya!  What a wonderful team of health care providers this hospital has, all so very dedicated to the work that they do.  Kijabe Hospital is a wonderful standard for what health care facilities in Africa can be.

I write tonight from a small hut in rural central Uganda! Today we traveled from Kampala to Soroti, Uganda, where we picked up Joseph, our Health eVillages sponsor for Angels of Hope‘s second clinic. Joseph brought us out to his small village, where they have an ever-growing health center sponsored by Angels of Hope. We were [...]

Another great day at Angels of Hope Matugga Clinic!  Day Two of Health eVillages training allowed for a follow-up with Nurse Anet and the addition of Doctor Ivan, the Director of the clinic and the technological expert within Angels of Hope. Yesterday I was so impressed by how quickly Anet learned, and today Ivan was [...]
