Muni Tahzib, MD is a Pediatric Allergist from New Jersey. She joins me today, less than 24h after returning home from Hurricane Stricken Puerto Rico. In less than a week She assembled a group of 27 medical professionals and support staff and over $30,000 in medical supplies to reach rural areas of Puerto Rico that were the most affected by this tragedy. Her organization, Love 4 Puerto Rico was able to deliver medical care and donated supplies over the past week. She shares her story of how this trip was arranged and how lives were touched on this amazing medical mission.
The Love 4 Puerto Rico team is planning a second trip!
