By Capt. Bob Lineberry, mission commander
You have heard us praise the efforts of our Humanitarian team and many of the volunteers who are behind this amazing CONTINUING PROMISE team. Over the next several days I want to highlight a few great organizations we work with daily here on COMFORT. Project HOPE currently has 18 outstanding healthcare professionals and educators onboard supporting our efforts. Majority are Nurses, they seek to provide essential healthcare for people around the world and they live by their name, Health Opportunities for People Everywhere. Project HOPE has worked with the U.S. Navy for many years and have been partnered with SOUTHCOM from the very beginning of CONTINUING PROMISE. For this mission, Project HOPE has gone above and beyond to provide the team with the very best in healthcare and educational professionals. The team here is led by Mr. Tom Stanton and Dr. Ken Iserson, Medical Director, they will cycle over 60 individuals through the team during the four month deployment. During our mission in Dominican Republic, the President and CEO of Project HOPE, Dr. John Howe, a true humanitarian, honored us with an overnight visit. Dr. Howe and his team are performing amazing humanitarian efforts throughout the world, our team has certainly benefited from their experience and endless energy to provide healthcare and humanitarian assistance, by the way they are all volunteers here doing this out of the goodness of their hearts. The following humanitarians are currently onboard COMFORT and we couldn’t be as successful without them: Tom Stanton, Dr. Ken Iserson, Joan Cockerill, Darlene Lee, Sarah Cryer, Jan Auerbach, Megan Rohm, Sandra Larson, Margaret Holt, Tauna Ainslie, Elizabeth Malloy, Barbara Perdikakis, Linda Brant, Kelly Magee, Lynn Bemiller, Jane Bower, Michelle Okamoto, Susan Mortensen, I consider them all great team mates and good friends!
