About two years ago, Dr. LuAnn Freer came to Montana State University to speak about her work at a clinic at the Everest Base Camp. An interesting topic in its own right, but what really made her talk sing, was learning how she leveraged her work at the base camp to provide health and medical care to the Nepalese people in the region.
Everest ER is now in its sixth year of operation. Basically how it works is Dr. Freer and her other volunteer physicians provide life saving medical care to the Everest climbing and trekking parties. The proceeds from that work, as well as the medical supplies that they ship over, are then used to provide basic and necessary medical care to the people of the Everest region. What a perfect way to leverage the expertise, supplies and good-will of the clinic, and give back to the region and its people!
