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.”

    REGAIN ACCESS WITH THE HELP OF A SPECIALIZED CRYPTO RECOVERY SERVICE / REVENANT CYBER HACKER
    
    GET IN TOUCH WITH A PROFESSIONAL CRYPTO ASSET RECOVERY SPECIALIST NEAR YOU. My encounter with REVENANT CYBER HACKER proved to be fortuitous. Just recent, I was encumbered by a challenging situation and financial challenges stemming from an unsuccessful cryptocurrency venture. The preceding months had been exceptionally difficult. I encountered an incident that nearly destroyed my business and eroded the confidence I had built with my business associates over a long while. I was a victim of cryptocurrency-related fraud. I not only lost my capital but also incurred substantial debt from my associates over several months, in an effort to ensure the success of this cryptocurrency investment; however, I was instead overwhelmed by debt. I was denied the opportunity to withdraw my funds or to terminate my involvement with this investment platform. I subsequently discovered REVENANT CYBER HACKER , a private investigative and cryptocurrency asset recovery specialist. I learned of their assistance to numerous victims of online fraudulent schemes and how they managed to recover their lost funds. I am profoundly grateful to REVENANT CYBER HACKER for their honesty and compassion throughout the process of assisting me in the successful recovery of my crypto and the profit I believed to have lost on this platform. I intend to publicly acknowledge the exceptional professionalism and organizational capabilities of REVENANT CYBER HACKER, a private investigative and cryptocurrency asset recovery specialist. The loss of millions of dollars in cryptocurrency would have significantly destabilized my life, but due to the intervention of the REVENANT CYBER HACKER team, who facilitated the recovery of my lost and compromised cryptocurrency, this was averted. I offer a prayer for the continued blessings upon the REVENANT CYBER HACKER
