Last week at Rotary, Dr. Jeff Delaney, a pediatric cardiologist shared with Rotarians a deeper look into Rotary's project  Operation Hippocrates that is conducted in the country of Belize annually during the spring time. The project is to provide medical care including heart catherization or open heart surgery to pediatric patients in Belize in cooperation with the Rotary Club of Belize and other non-profit organizations in Belize. Dr. Delaney reported several cases of pediatric patients who were successfully treated during Operation Hipporates in Belize. In addition to the annual spring trip when the team examines up to 115 children, Dr. Delaney proposed an additional trip to Belize in December 2022 to perform catherization procedures to over 10 children.  The purpose of the trip is to catch up on needed catherization procedures.  Because of the pandemic, Rotary Club of Belize was unable to send any kids to the US for almost two years for heart repair via a catheterization procedure or open heart surgery.
