A celebration of two anniversaries by Clinica Adventista Ana Stahl—its beginning 90 years ago and 10 years of involvement with Centura’s Global Health Initiatives—brought 1,500 participants to Iquitos, Peru representing the Seventh-day Adventist faith community, former patients, civic leaders, leaders of sister institutions from Lima and Juliaca, as well as representatives of GHI from Denver, Colorado.
The event also introduced Total Health, a new initiative moving GHI’s efforts beyond treating disease and facilitating best practices in healthcare, to promoting prevention and lifestyle changes through “the best hospital in the region,” as Clinica is regarded by area municipal authorities.
