US-registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to
promoting health care reform in areas of the world where modern
medical health care is not available. Global Healing aims for
sustainable development of healthcare services, rather than
short-term or emergency interventions. It was established in
1994, initially to train and equip a team of pediatric
cardiology surgeons in Tbilisi, Georgia to perform the nation's
first ever pediatric open-heart surgeries. Global Healing has
since created self sufficient medical programs in Armenia,
Honduras and Dominica. She most recently was able, through
Stockton connections, including Pacific Storage Company and the
courtesy of owners Chuck Wagner and Bob Foy and CEO Greg Tudor,
to send five new blood-bank refrigerators along with a wide
assortment of tens of thousands of dollars' worth blood bank
equipment - including syringes, plasma storage equipment and
centrifuges to Moldova, a small, landlocked country, via
Romania. A substantial shipping discount was obtained through
another Stockton connection via John Pasha, vice president of
automotive services for the Pasha Group of Corte Madera, an
automotive shipping company, who is married to Stockton native
Erin Heffernan and secured the shipping discount along with his
firm's logistical help. A volunteer team of specialists from
Northern California and Reno will train their Moldovan
counterparts to operate, maintain and repair the equipment. (6/09)
