What We Do Every Day
For over two decades, Dr. David Gaus has worked to provide quality health care to the underserved rural poor of Ecuador. Since launching Andean Health & Development in 1997 with his mentor and co-chair, the late Fr. Theodore Hesburgh, David has innovated a sustainable approach to rural health built on developing local talent and establishing two hospitals/clinics and Ecuador’s first residency training program for rural doctors. The story is nothing short of inspirational.
