Go to Ghana

Lisa Trujillo has been taking students from her RT program at Weber State University in Utah to the nation of Ghana for years now to not only provide much needed medical care in underserved areas but also to deliver much needed medical equipment to local health care providers so they can improve the services offered to their citizens. A couple of years ago Karen Schell, from Kansas and pictured here, got into the act as well, and now these therapists are working overtime to ensure Ghana has the resources it needs to adequately care for people with respiratory conditions. And, oh yes, along the way they’re helping to form a school for respiratory therapists in the country too.
