| "I believe that strengthening the health and education of a nation will only make it a more peaceful country." - Cindy Basso Eaton, President, Global Healing Global Healing is a U.S.-based non-profit organization dedicated to bringing modern medicine to the developing world. Our goal is to empower a population to take care of its own. We do this through working directly with local governments, healthcare providers, businesses, public institutions and private citizens to not only ensure the success of our program but also make certain they will attain self-sufficiency. Global Healing's first achievement was the establishment of a pediatric cardiac diagnosis, surgery and treatment center in Tbilisi, Georgia in the former Soviet Union in 1996. In 1997, the Tbilisi medical center was dedicated as the Jo Ann Medical Center (JAMC) in honor of the late co-founder of Global Healing, Jo Ann McGowan. In 2001, a new neonatal intensive care unit was built. To date, more than 1,000 life-saving cardiac surgeries have been performed on Georgian children. With the help of the Georgian government and private donors, Global Healing added a much needed state of the art adult cardiac surgery and diagnostic center as well as a new modern blood bank facility. Now, the Jo Ann Medical Center is the most advanced cardiac center in the entire Caucasus Region. In 2003, Global Healing focused energies on Roatan, a tiny island of Honduras, the poorest country in Central America. Recognizing the government was unable to meet the medical needs of the people of Roatan, Global Healing established a modern pediatric outpatient clinic available to all Honduran children five days a week. The clinic is staffed by a rotating volunteer staff of U.S.-trained doctors. In 2004, Global Healing is working with the government of the Shirak Region of Armenia (site of the devastating 1988 earthquake) to establish the area's first ever modern blood bank facility based on volunteer blood donors. "This is only the beginning!" - Cindy Basso Eaton, President, Global Healing |
