Follow our own Dr. Khoi Le and Dr. Charlie Shaeffer to Southeast Asia
At Desert Cardiology Center, patient education and community service are an integral component of our commitment to excellence in patient care. Follow our own Dr. Khoi Le and Dr. Charlie Shaeffer as they return to Southeast Asia to volunteer their cardiovascular care knowledge and services.
Dr. Khoi Le will first travel to Vientiane, Laos where he will visit the Lao-Luxembourg Heart Institute. Dr. Charlie Shaeffer will meet with patients and resident physicians and cardiologists at the Bach Mai Hospital in Hanoi, Vietnam. Bach Mai is familiar to Dr. Shaeffer from prior missions in 2000 and 2002 with Drs. Khoi Le and Barry Hackshaw. It was at Bach Mai hospital in 1997 that Dr. Le worked as a member of the first team to implant a coronary stent in Vietnam.
