In today’s episode, I have the pleasure of talking with Dr. Edward O’Bryan. Dr. O’Bryan is the Chief Medical Officer for Business Health at the Medical University of South Carolina and is the Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer of One World Health. He spends his days saving lives so I was truly honored he took the time to share his story with me. For those who don’t know, One World Health has built hospitals and clinics in Uganda, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and are now expanding into Honduras. They serve over 150,000 patients annually through the service and dedication of medical and non-medical volunteers. The needs of each country are different. Whether it’s a rural clinic or a full hospital, One World Health tries to answer the needs of the community. A mission trip to Nicaragua 20 years ago was an eye-opening experience for Dr. O’Bryan, he saw the need for long-term sustainable medical solutions. He found Matt Alexander, and they partnered to work to make this daunting idea a reality. They had many opportunities which led them to begin their mission in Uganda. Even though they found the initial response overwhelming, it encouraged them to keep working toward their goal. Listening to the stories of the people they’ve helped and the work this organization does is amazing and has inspired me to think about going on a mission trip myself. Take the time to learn about them, you won’t regret it. Show Highlights A lesson Dr. O’Bryan learned early on, in order to ensure dreams come true, find someone to share them with. Don’t be discouraged by the doors which close. Make the effort to watch for the opportunities which open. A reminder: walk forward and make as big of an impact as you can. Recognizing the different levels of health need around the world. The story of how a neonatal hospital was built in Uganda. “If everybody does the best they can, a lot of good things are going to happen.” Dr. Edward O’Bryan.
