Title:
A Healing Hand by Jessey Dearing

Description:
Dr. Karina León Ponce is a gynecologist and the director of the Ministry of Public Health on Isabela Island, which is a two hour boat ride, then a two hour plane ride to the nearest major hospital. While it was renovated in 2008, the health center lacks the ability to do surgeries because it does not have backup generators in the case that the cities power goes out, which happens often. Last month, seven women had to travel to the mainland to give birth. Learn more at http://LivingGalapagos.org
