Getting healthy, keeping healthy
M
ayra spoke of the extreme pain and
inability to work or care for her son.
Hermelinda tearfully said she thought
she would not be able to create the
floral arrangements that were her specialty. Juan excitedly told of
relief from excruciating head pain so that he could be daddy once
more and play with his young children. They all prayed for an angel
to come and help them. These angels are the volunteer physicians,
nurses, anesthesiologists, and various healthcare professionals
mobilized into action by Champions for Health (CFH), a non-profit
organization whose mission is to improve community health and
wellness, access to care for all, and support for physicians through
engaged volunteerism. This CFH vision is to get people healthy, and
to keep people healthy, through an integrated approach of service
provision and partner collaboration.
