The journey began a few nights before graduation 40 years ago with a midnight trip to Father Hesburgh’s office.
That heartfelt conversation between Fr. Ted and David Gaus ultimately led to founding Andean Health & Development in 1997. Over the past 27 years, AHD has grown and expanded in remarkable ways, serving the needs of the poor and vulnerable, by providing top-notch health care to over 15,000 patients per year and setting the standard for rural medicine in developing Latin America.
Today, AHD operates two state-of-the-art teaching hospitals, a medical residency program, a paperless medical records system, a system of public-private partnerships, and a research institute, all in Ecuador and staffed by Ecuadorians to serve the poorest of their rural poor.
Together, we’ve improved lives. Let’s toast to that! We hope to see you.
