Mobile Medical Disaster Relief in the News
BRENTWOOD, Tenn. - A Brentwood surgeon dedicated to relief efforts in Haiti is now helping battle the Cholera outbreak and People Magazine honored him for his work.
David Vanderpool, 50-a vascular surgeon from Brentwood, Tenn.-his wife, Laurie, 51, and their three children (David Jr., 22, John Mark, 18, and Jacklyn, 16) don't take beach vacations.
Surgeon David Vanderpool and his family brought their medical team to Haiti immediately after the quake struck last January and have returned to that country 10 times since.
"He's such a servant and such a hero," Vanderpool says of his father, a doctor whose practice, Lave MD, shuts down for one week each month while Dr. Vanderpool does mission work. "The overhead for MMDR is paid for by an anonymous donor," says Dr. Vanderpool. Most of his practice's profits go toward MMDR projects, he says.
In honor of Father’s Day, Dr. David Vanderpool was selected as Darrell Waltrip Automotive’s Hometown Hero for the month of June.
Vanderpool was nominated by his son for his passion to improve the lives of others. “I have been profoundly influenced by my father and his selfless giving, and am grateful that others see him as the hero that I know him to be,” says son, David Stalling Vanderpool.
Christian author Laura Anderson Kurk spotlights Jacklyn Vanderpool for her admirable work with MMDR throughout the world and how her faith has been her motivating factor for service.
