Shifting healthcare with kindness and compassion isn’t a slogan—it’s how the clinic runs. When returning Program Managers and local promoters work side by side, clinic flow becomes muscle memory—in the best sense: practiced, calm, and attentive—and kindness and compassion become the operating system.
This October in Chichicastenango, three former Program Managers—Peter Caron, Greg Radicone, and Claudine “Claw” Rousseau—returned to lead alongside our local team, treating 656 patients in just three-and-a-half days. It felt less like a pop-up clinic and more like a community coming home.
Dr. Jason Krantz DAc came to Guatemala to serve — and found a way to keep serving. A Philly acupuncturist with a big frame and bigger heart, he fundraised for care in Quiché, showed up ready to treat, pitched in on every task, and even shared extra supplies so no one had to pause care.
On this jornada, he worked with local health promoters to treat Felipe — a 12-year-old with cerebral palsy — whose balance and gait improved with acupuncture, gentle electrostimulation, and moxibustion heat therapy, plus a simple home program to sustain gains between missions. His story reflects GHF’s model in motion — organized clinics, kindness and compassion, and community follow-through.
At the 2025 ASNY Spring Banquet, GHF Founder Dan Wunderlich was honored for nearly two decades of delivering integrative healthcare to underserved communities. GHF has provided free, high-quality care to over 66,000 patients—always full of heart.
Dan was introduced by longtime GHF volunteer Peter Caron, and the award was presented by ASNY President Beth Nugent following a video showcase of GHF’s work—and a well-earned standing ovation
Transformando la atención médica con bondad y compasión no es un eslogan, es la filosofía de la clínica. Cuando los coordinadores del programa y los promotores locales trabajan codo a codo, el funcionamiento de la clínica se vuelve automático —en el mejor sentido— practicado, sereno y atento; donde la bondad y la compasión se convierten en el sistema operativo.
En octubre, en Chichicastenango, tres exdirectores del programa —Peter Caron , Greg Radicone y Claudine “Claw” Rousseau — regresaron para liderar. Junto con nuestro equipo local, atendiendo a 656 pacientes en tan solo tres días y medio. Más que una clínica itinerante, se sintió como el regreso de la comunidad.

Peter Caron was instrumental in launching GHF’s weekly mobile clinic program to provide much needed healthcare to indigenous communities throughout the district of Quiché, Guatemala. During the 18-month period in which he served as GHF’s Central America Program Manager, our mobile clinic team provided comprehensive treatments to nearly 10,000 patients.
Global Healthworks Foundation thinks beyond delivering healthcare services to communities in need – we plan for the sustainability of our programs. We train local health promoters and involve youth and young adults in all aspects of our Quiché-based services to ensure the prolonged impact of our work. Read about how GHF health promoters have become respected healthcare practitioners in their communities.
