ROTARIANS IN ACTION

Healing Little Hearts in Monterrey

Gift of Life International is proud to partner with International Children’s Heart Foundation, CardioChavitos, Rotary, TecSalud Foundation and Zambrano Hellion Hospital as we continue healing little hearts in Mexico. We are grateful to the Santa Catarina Rotary Club (Host Partner Club) and to the Conejo Valley Rotary Club (International Partner Club) for joining with the many Rotary Global Grant contributors to make this training mission possible. This third training mission resulted in the treatment of 15 Mexican children. Nine children received open-heart surgery, five children had their hearts healed through interventional catheterizations, two children received diagnostic catheterizations and one cath study was completed. Our sincere thanks to the International Children’s Heart Foundation visiting team, led by Dr. Rodrigo Soto, for sharing their knowledge and skills with the local healthcare professionals. Thank you to the dedicated team at Zambrano Hellion Hospital for your hospitality, your willingness to learn and the love you have for the children of your country. The CardioChavitos team, together with local Rotarians, coordinated all logistics for the mission and helped to ensure another very successful mission. Once again, CardioChavitos coordinated a workshop prior to the mission to prepare all parents and children for what to expect pre-op and post-op and to ease the anxiety of going through this heart healing process. A special thank you to Rotarian Team Leader, Diego Velasquez and to Gift of Life International Vice President, Ms. Fredlee Ann Kaplan for traveling to Monterrey to witness these lives being saved. A heartfelt thanks to Margaret Lavin and Gift of Life International CEO, Rob Raylman for also traveling to Monterrey and arranging for Dayanna from Ecuador to have her heart healed.
