I'm excited to tell you that Stacy and I are returning to Vietnam in December 2019 to continue our partnership with the US-based International Extremity Project (IEP), Can Tho General Hospital in Can Tho, Vietnam, and Children’s Hospital 1 in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. As you may know, we’ve been working with these programs since 2004, and we are thrilled to be working with them all again.
This year, we will split our time between the Mekong Delta city of Can Tho and bustling Ho
Chi Minh City. We’ll work at the Can Tho General Hospital with the team of IEP nurses
and surgeons to assess patients for foot and ankle surgeries planned for later that week.
We will also provide direct clinical support and services to the Can Tho Pediatric Hospital and
a local autism clinic. We will then go north to Ho Chi Minh City to Children’s Hospital 1 to
again work with the pediatric physical therapy and speech pathology teams in hands-on open
clinic with patients and to provide training lectures to area therapists and physicians.

You have been very generous in the past in helping to support our participation in the IEP mission.
If you are able to contribute to the mission again, we would be very grateful. Any donation that you
make is tax-deductible. This year, your donations will be used to defray the shared $5000 in travel
and material costs that we will personally incur to make the trip, with all additional money going
to support the surgery team.
