Kevin Healy, an anesthesiologist who retired in 2010, didn’t get that memo. He spends a large chunk of his time traveling the world as a volunteer physician, averaging one trip per month to countries as diverse at the Dominican Republic, Lebanon, Nepal, Ecuador, and Malawi. The U.S. Navy veteran — a father of two sons (both doctors themselves) — has logged seven missions with Operation of Hope.

Kevin’s interest in medical volunteerism dates back to college, when he met a priest who was a medical missionary. “I decided that someday I’d do that,” Kevin says. “And then I got accepted to medical school.” He joined the U.S. Navy, serving eight years and rising to the rank of lieutenant commander, before leaving to work and raise his family in a small Minnesota town. In 1991 he moved to Ames, Iowa, where he practiced for 20 years before relocating with his wife to Gainesville, Fla., where the sun and sand serve as a backdrop to a well-deserved rest — when he’s home, that is.

Kevin loves to say yes to Operation of Hope missions for one main reason: “Her name is [executive director] Jennifer Trubenbach. She is far and away the most personable and uniformly positive team leader I’ve ever encountered. She makes it a pleasure to go on these trips.”

Kevin continues: “As a direct result of her positive attitude she is able to bring only the finest medical providers on her missions. That’s a big benefit to the patients because they get great care from people who are happy to be there.”

And happy people are good ambassadors, he points out. “When we get to these different countries, often the locals are stunned to find out that we’re not asking for any money for our services. When they see Americans working hard for a good cause for free, it counteracts some of the negative opinions people might hold about our country.”

Despite spending so much time abroad providing care to others, Kevin is not all work and no play. Besides playing with his three grandchildren, Kevin enjoys one traditional pastime: bird-watching — which he approaches with the enthusiasm of a scientist. “I love the intellectual challenge,” he says. “It’s like making a medical diagnosis. It’s very satisfying to look at a duck from 300 yards away through a scope and be able to identify it.”

Kevin’s bird-watching forays have taken him as far afield asTrinidad and Costa Rica. His biggest triumph? “Once I identified a yellow-billed loon on Wall Lake in Iowa,” he says. “That’s like finding a silver dollar among a bunch of punched-out slugs, or a contact lens in a snowbank.”

    WEB BAILIFF CONTRACTOR: HOW TO RECOVER CAPITAL FROM FAKE CRYPTO BROKERS
    This bad experience with crypto brokers has made me wary of trusting people I don’t know. It all started when I met a man through one of those Facebook dating platforms; he sounded very genuine, and we had so many phone conversations over some months. I did not suspect any harm from this guy. As time went by, he introduced me to an investment website and proposed a joint investment in the United States to secure a home before his return. The total investment came to about $670,000, with him contributing $370,000 and me paying the rest. Viewing it as a fair deal, I agreed to his offer, expecting our dream home in a month when he would return. However, instead of making profits out of the investment as expected, the company requested a fee for access to the funds after the lapse of the mining period. Convinced by him, I paid on behalf of the both of us, finally adding another $ 150 000 to my cost. Unfortunately, we never got any profit. Suspecting something fishy, I hired the services of a recovery agent to probe into this matter. Their investigation, which Web Bailiff Contractor conducted, found out he was among them, fooling me all this while. Though that was a shocking moment for me, I was grateful that through them, I was able to get back my invested money along with the extra charges that I paid as their fees. Should you ever find yourself in a similar situation, I would advise reaching out to them through

    My process for recovery has been kind of a bumpy process because of the fake recovery agents I encountered. However with the support given to me by RIGHT WAY LAW RECOVERY SERVICES, I have collectively succeeded in recouping my locked up BTC Assets valued at $326,790 within the space of 48 hours !! Or rather the team worked hard on my behalf, I only had to provide them with a few details regarding my investment with the fraud company and they did the rest for me. Prior to meeting RIGHT WAY LAW RECOVERY FIRM, I had met a few recovery agents as well, that only seemed to care about their service fee similar to what the fraud company was doing to me and at some point I almost gave up the believe that I would ever get back my money but today I’ve done full circle to come back here and give my own thankful review since I learnt about the team through the many reviews on here. I feel ready to take on the world with my new found awareness and RIGHT WAY LAW RECOVERY on my team! … I wish they would create more awareness platforms and opportunities to help enlighten more people about crypto and how best to navigate the digital financial landscape, this will surely help to reduce the fast spreading fraudulent activities going on here & there and save potential investors from falling prey!. Glad I know it now and I can teach it to my children so they wont make the same mistakes I did. You can also contact them via their official Email address: RIGHTWAYLAWRECOVERYSERVICE@GMAIL (.) COM or

    So, a while back, I faced the worst experience ever with some fake crypto asset brokerage. I was very mindful of my Bitcoin and had saved a whole 1.5 BTC for investments through a well-known brokerage firm. Thus, while researching where to invest, after so much searching on Google, I found a link sponsored and really well placed by the 1st in the list, and in that search result, was a website called Paleta network. I found everything about this site to be very well professionally and convincing as I went through it to connect my crypto wallet, and I did without thinking. Soon after doing that, the whole 1.5 BTC was gone from my Bitcoin. I went into a state of emergency and checked with my mobile app to confirm that the balance was indeed zero. Helpless, I contacted a workmate with a vast understanding of cryptocurrency. That co-worker at first felt my concerns flimsy and informed me that they might be out of a problem, but later he mentioned a specialist that was supposed to come to my aid. This specialist was part of a company known as Cyberpunk Programmers. I contacted them giving a detailed account of the incident and attached the malicious sponsored link which had led to the phishing. Cyberpunk Programmers reviewed the link in minutes and found it to be part of a scam scammer trying to rouge as the legitimate Manta Network, a real and reputable platform in the world of crypto. The team acted with the razor-sharp speed in the face of Cyberpunk Programmers. They were able to initiate the process of recovery utilizing their vast amount of experience in dealing with phishing and scam-related issues. Thanks to their sophisticated tools and techniques, they managed to reverse the transactions and recover my stolen bits.
