We arrived at JFK to find a number of cases scheduled for us, and that was a surprise. Sepehr and I operated on a man with large bilateral African hernias, and used mesh for the floor repair. Becca and Yuk did a couple of less than African hernias. I removed a fibroadenoma from Precillar’s sister. We ended up doing 7 cases, which was pretty good considering that we weren’t sure we would do any before we arrived at the hospital. Last night Santiago and Samantha arrived to complete the team.

- This blog describes the experiences of a team of surgeons at JFK Hospital in Monrovia, Liberia. This visit (March 2023) is my 24th time at JFK. We travel and work here under the auspices of HEARTT, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving healthcare for the Liberian people. The founding President of HEARTT was Dr. James Adamah Sirleaf, an ED physician in Albany, GA. HEARTT volunteers have included ED residents and attendings, pediatric residents and attendings, and surgical teams.
