Mel's Dream Team
/The Mel's Dream Team, from Alberta, Canada, along with our friends Jeff Neddles and John Beldon, are working in the final touches for the new Hospital. They are installing the ceiling in this building. Mel's dream was to come to PAHS in 2008 but due to a fatal accident he was unable to see his vision realized. Friends, family and colleagues have come to PAHS in 2009, 2011 and 2014 to make his dream of service come true. Mel's Dream Team wish to express their dedication and committment to serving the needs of the children at PAHS.

A new school for our neighbors

Pan American Health Service donated a lovely hill-top site for an architect with Schools for the Children of the World of Mears, MI, to coordinate and assist the efforts of the children’s parents, the Yibrin family and our local municipality of Santa Cruz to build the three-room school. Construction began in February with the students and their families providing the unskilled labor. Working together, the school was finished and inaugurated on July 12, 2013.
