Last Weeks Meeting Highlights
It was our pleasure to welcome back Dr.s Ashkon Ansari and Erik Akopian, co-founders of Atlas Global Health, who’s mission is to identify under-resourced hospitals and empower them through a cohesive global network that connects local healthcare leaders with international experts, aid donors, and educators, bridging gaps in healthcare and advancing the development of emergency medicine.
We got to hear more about the incredible benefits of portable ultra sound equipment and the critical success of their on-going training
of medical staff in Uganda.
We are excited to work with Dr. Ansari and Atlas Global Health and the Mulago National Referral Hospital as we partner with the
Rotary Club of Kampala Ssese Islands,
from district 9213, to secure a Global Grant.
Look for more exciting details about this incredible International Project!!

ROTARIANS HARD at WORK
for PVSR!

Thank you to our amazing team of Rotarians and friends who helped move our storage - Gail, Rob, Iris, Gwen, Memo, and Jason - Thank you so much!! This was a monumental task of organizing, pairing down and transporting our equipment to a much less expensive unit in a much more desirable location! No more pushing carts through hallways for us - we can now pull up to our individual garage door - so much better and will be a time (and back) saver!

Thank you and Big Love !!
❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
