Overseas medical missions: The Tenwek Heart Project
In November of 2008 and again in May of 2010, Dr. Liske led a cardiac team to Tenwek Mission Hospital in Kenya, East Africa. This team was comprised of physicians and staff from Vanderbilt University in Nashville and Brown University in Rhode Island, and other surgical centers, and received logistic and financial support from World Medical Mission, the medical arm of Samaritan’s Purse. Cardiac surgery was performed on numerous children and young adults, providing life giving care to those who would have never had the option to receive it otherwise. Drs. Bremer and Liske are continuing to support this ongoing effort. The next team is scheduled to travel back to Tenweck in November of 2011. We are grateful to the families and institutions who have helped with this project.
