Like-Minded Partners Collaborate
To Save Children’s Lives
Collaboration between like-minded partners resulted in the saving of 21 children’s lives
during the March 2016 Electro-physiology mission to El Salvador. Three local hospitals
worked together (Hospital de la Mujer Cardiac Cath Lab, Hospital Benjamin Bloom and
Rosales Hospital) to maximize the number of patients evaluated and treated. Healthcare
professionals from all three Salvadoran hospitals worked with the visiting team from
UCLA Medical Center located in Los Angeles, California. This expert team, led by Dr.
Kevin Shannon, returned for their third consecutive year to treat children with WolffParkinson-White Syndrome (WPW) and Supra Ventricular Tachycardia (SVT). Gift of Life
International affiliates, Latidos de Esperanza and Regalo de Vida El Salvador
coordinated all logistics to ensure a successful mission. We are grateful to Digicel El
Salvador, Regalo de Vida El Salvador and the Rotary Clubs and Districts who helped
fund this highly specialized mission. Thank you to Dr. Juventino Amaya, Director of
Hospital de la Mujer Cardiac Cath Lab, Emi Ambulance Services and the Sheraton
Presidente Hotel and St. Jude Medical for their generous In-Kind Donations. This
collaborative effort helped heal 21 Salvadoran hearts who otherwise had no hope.
