Heart Is Easy, Soft Is Hard: How Two Surgeons Built Kenya’s Only Open-Heart Program
About this episode
This episode discusses the establishment of Kenya's only open-heart program by two missionary surgeons.
by Christian Medical & Dental Associations® What does it take to build one of the most advanced cardiac surgery centers in East Africa — from a napkin sketch to a 400,000-square-foot hospital treating hundreds of open-heart patients a year? In this episode of Faith in Healthcare, host Dr. Mike Chupp sits down with two of his closest friends and former colleagues, Dr. Russ White and Dr. Carol Spears, both veteran missionary surgeons at Tenwek Hospital in Kenya. Together they helped launch Tenwek's general surgery residency nearly 30 years ago — and have now returned to lead its brand-new Cardiothoracic Center.
