HOA KHANH CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL
Vietnamese Nurses and Staff
1968 - 1969
My interest in creating this website is to share with the public my Vietnam experience working at the
Hoa Khanh Children's Hospital. Throughout the life of the hospital several Navy doctors and hospital corpsmen volunteered
to work to help heal and save the lives of so many children caught up in war although we were not always successful. While the doctors would visit the hospital several times a week Navy corpsmen were hand selected to live at the hospital 24/7. They worked around the clock. This was the hospital environment I entered in October of 1968. I would like to give special attention and a thank you to Dr. Edward Shahady, founder of what became the Hoa Khanh Children's Hospital. For more information on the hospital you can visit Dr. Shahady's website .
It has been many years since I've had dreams about Vietnam and the hospital but the memories live on. I am pleased to share them with you now.
