HOWARD GOOD from the NAZARETH PROJECT, Inc.
HOWARD GOOD visited our club last Thursday to talk of a critical need he is championing for Nazareth Israel, a CAT Scan machine for use in the Nazareth Hospital. A new CT scanner is desperately needed in their recently created Stroke Unit, which serves the community of about 250,000 but has to send patients to a hospital two hours away, if a detailed diagnostic scan is required, a time that can often mean the difference between life and death.
HOWARD is Executive Director of the NAZARETH PROJECT, Inc., an organization dedicated to supporting the Nazareth Hospital, and is leading the effort to get funding for this much needed machine. The CT scanned cost in the neighborhood of $600,000, and local government funding has supplied $250,000, with the Nazareth Rotary Club contributing another $12,000. Howard is working with Rotary clubs and other organizations to secure further funds for the purchase. WE discussed with him, some of the options ROTARY INTERNATIONAL offers in International Grants, and he said that option is being pursued.
Howard gave a great visual tour of the Nazareth area , with its beautiful scenery and many biblical points of interest, telling of his personal impressions of the area.
