From the outset we
have leveraged our efforts through medical education to ultimately improve the health of
the children. Since 1992, we have provided complete sponsorship of 18 educational
visits by physicians from Romania and Bosnia. To limit expenses, these doctors have
stayed in the Yourtee's home during their visits. Educational programs have been arranged with the cooperation of Boston's Children's Hospital, the Massachusetts General Hospital, Shriner’s Hospital for Crippled Children, Dartmouth Medical Center, Catholic Medical Center, and other local hospitals. We have organized volunteer help from area doctors, and have sent six of these doctors to international medical meetings of their specialty in the US. In 2007 we founded a program in cooperation with the Infectious Disease section of the University of Pennsylvania Hospital to bring doctors from Botswana to learn more about AIDS care. Nobody's Children provides financial support for this program in memory of our friend Richard K. Root, MD, who died tragically while volunteering at the Penn AIDS program in Botswana in 2007. |
