Welcome!

Welcome to the Hospitals of Hope blog! We’ve decided to start this blog in order to keep you all updated about the work Hospitals of Hope is doing in the United States and around the world. You can read Daniel’s and my posts here every week or so, and we’d love for you to leave comments or sign up to follow the blog.

On Sunday, the U.S. staff of Hospitals of Hope (Mike, Daniel, and I) will be headed to Bolivia to work at our hospital in Cochabamba. It will only be the second time Mike and Daniel have been to Bolivia this year, due to our commitments here and in Liberia, and it will be my first time there, since I joined the Hospitals of Hope staff in July. While there, Mike will be doing administrative work, and Daniel will be working to set up Angel Eyes, South America’s first remote patient monitoring system. I will be helping them, meeting our Bolivian staff, and learning about how our hospital works with the surrounding community. We’ll plan to post an update or two to the blog while we’re there, so be sure to check back soon.

We’ve also just finished our December newsletter, and we’ll be sending that out in the next couple of days before we leave. If you aren’t on our mailing list, you can visit our website to sign up. If you’d like to read it online, you can view a PDF file of it.
