He has assembled a team of individuals to travel to Bolivia and we are asking for good financial support. Please consider a donation to help us help others around the world.
In April 2011, I had the opportunity to open my own practice, Karing Hearts Cardiology. My experience while in the hospital with Kari shaped the direction I was to follow. I wanted to treat patients in a Karing and compassionate way, dedicating my future practice to the memory of my daughter. At the time, it seemed only appropriate to choose the name, Karing Hearts Cardiology – something that to this day has offered our practice a unique perspective on the delivery of healthcare.

What Paz Echad and Karing Hearts Cardiology do?
By partnering with each other and the pacemaker industry, Dr. Schoondyke will be implanting life-saving pacemakers in patients who otherwise would not be able to afford them. We are providing the service and devices completely free of charge.
