Have you ever learned of a troubling situation that made you think, “I need to do something about that?” Jeannine had one of those moments, and it prompted her to get involved in international volunteer medical work. After some introspection, she drew some conclusions on why she wanted to get involved and, when the opportunity arose, jumped in to serve. It did not take many trips to realize that the “something” she was doing was not necessarily the best or most helpful thing that could be done. That is when her eyes were really opened, and she started to learn how to really make a difference as a volunteer, and how the effect of helping others is not always what we’d assume. Jeannine is a pediatrician in Denison, Texas, and has over 45 years of experience in the medical field. She earned a bachelor’s degree from Austin College in 1972 and received a medical degree from the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston. Jeannine specialized in pediatric medicine and trained at the Bowman Gray Center for Medical Education’s North Carolina Baptist Hospital. She has been involved in international medical volunteer activities since 1990, working mostly in support of services and education at Grace Children’s Hospital in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Global health and community service are important to Jeannine, and she volunteers in support of many organizations including the American Academy of Pediatrics' Section on Global Health, the Child & Family Guidance Center of Texoma, the health advisory committee for Denison ISD, and the Board of Directors of the Texoma Community Foundation. Jeannine is also a member of the Austin College Board of Trustees. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
