Message from the President

We wanted to highlight Amy Elrod, a nurse practitioner who spent the last four months of 2009 at the hospital.  Visit her blog!  We also did a small piece about Amy in our Winter 2010 newsletter Operating for Christ.


On September 12, 2008, Foundation President Paul Shumpert forwarded a report from Janie Hemphill, a University of Missouri - Kansas City medical student.  Ms. Hemphill recently returned from a 5-week trip to the Baptist Medical Center in Nalerigu.  Back in March, the Foundation sent Ms. Hemphill some money to support her trip.  Read her report!


In August, 2008, Dr. Faile reported the following and send the pictures below:

We have just finished putting in the new floors and I thought you might like to see how some of the areas turned out. We are very happy and think it looks good. We certainly are grateful for the support from the Foundation. I will be putting some pictures and a report on our BMC blog when I get some time.

We are busy right now planning the 50th anniversary celebration. One committee is working on beautifying the grounds and have some good plans for seeing that the outside of the hospital and the grounds look nice.

On December 6, 2007, Dr. Faile, via Foundation President Paul Shumpert, requested the following:

Please do not send any expired or short dated drugs.  Also, please be aware that we cannot use donated gloves that are powder free as the heat ruins these. We are asking for donations for barrels for shipping ($25 each) and boxes of plastic liners ($30/box).


On September 26, 2007, Dr. Faile, via Foundation President Paul Shumpert, reported the following:

Just wanted to let you know the generator has arrived [at the Baptist Medical Center in Nalerigu, Ghana], been installed, and ran for an hour without problems.
 
Thanks to everyone who helped get it here.
