Chairperson Words


It seems like yesterday when this dream of getting Coamed off the ground started and now it’s been 8 years of continued service to our communities through either medical missions, partnerships with local community advocates, donations to other foundations or groups who devote their efforts to improving the living conditions and/or health status of people in need.

It has been a beautiful journey that has allowed me to see the best traits of humanity in my Coamed peers, friends and volunteers who like me, simply enjoy and find pleasure in lending a helping hand to whoever may need it.

To remain faithful to our mission, we will continue to work tirelessly in adding more and more beneficiaries to the thousands who have already benefited from our efforts and the generosity of our supporters. The information on our website is a glimpse of what we have done and an invitation to join us to help impact the lives of many more.

Taking over this responsibility to guide a group of volunteers to help others in the midst of a global pandemic could be seen as a huge, almost invincible obstacle but I choose to see it as a greater opportunity to help those whose disadvantages will be magnified or whose already challenged lives will be affected by the devastating effects of this pandemic.

This is the time to show what we are made of and why we made a choice to live a life of service!

 

Best,

Dr. Marcella Ramirez
