Nachum welcomed pediatric cardiologist Dr. Sagi Assa and Mrs. Judy Shore, West Coast Chair at Save A Child’s Heart (SACH) and wife of David Shore, creator of Sony Pictures Television/ABC Studios’ “The Good Doctor,” to this morning’s JM in the AM to discuss this vital, Israel-based organization and the interesting way it was brought to the attention of Nachum and NSN. From the SACH website:
“Save a Child’s Heart (SACH) is an Israeli-based international non-profit organization with special consultative status granted by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (ECOSOC). SACH was founded in 1995 at the Wolfson Medical Center in Holon, Israel, with the mission of improving the quality of pediatric cardiac care for children in developing countries and creating centers of competence in these countries. SACH’s goal is to improve the health and welfare of all children, regardless of the child’s nationality, religion, color, gender or financial situation
Save a Child’s Heart holds preoperative and follow up cardiology clinics in Israel and abroad on a weekly basis, offers a comprehensive training program within Israel for doctors and nurses from developing countries and leads surgical and teaching missions to partner countries.
