Kevin Healy, an anesthesiologist who retired in 2010, didn’t get that memo. He spends a large chunk of his time traveling the world as a volunteer physician, averaging one trip per month to countries as diverse at the Dominican Republic, Lebanon, Nepal, Ecuador, and Malawi. The U.S. Navy veteran — a father of two sons (both doctors themselves) — has logged seven missions with Operation of Hope.

Kevin’s interest in medical volunteerism dates back to college, when he met a priest who was a medical missionary. “I decided that someday I’d do that,” Kevin says. “And then I got accepted to medical school.” He joined the U.S. Navy, serving eight years and rising to the rank of lieutenant commander, before leaving to work and raise his family in a small Minnesota town. In 1991 he moved to Ames, Iowa, where he practiced for 20 years before relocating with his wife to Gainesville, Fla., where the sun and sand serve as a backdrop to a well-deserved rest — when he’s home, that is.

Kevin loves to say yes to Operation of Hope missions for one main reason: “Her name is [executive director] Jennifer Trubenbach. She is far and away the most personable and uniformly positive team leader I’ve ever encountered. She makes it a pleasure to go on these trips.”

Kevin continues: “As a direct result of her positive attitude she is able to bring only the finest medical providers on her missions. That’s a big benefit to the patients because they get great care from people who are happy to be there.”

And happy people are good ambassadors, he points out. “When we get to these different countries, often the locals are stunned to find out that we’re not asking for any money for our services. When they see Americans working hard for a good cause for free, it counteracts some of the negative opinions people might hold about our country.”

Despite spending so much time abroad providing care to others, Kevin is not all work and no play. Besides playing with his three grandchildren, Kevin enjoys one traditional pastime: bird-watching — which he approaches with the enthusiasm of a scientist. “I love the intellectual challenge,” he says. “It’s like making a medical diagnosis. It’s very satisfying to look at a duck from 300 yards away through a scope and be able to identify it.”

Kevin’s bird-watching forays have taken him as far afield asTrinidad and Costa Rica. His biggest triumph? “Once I identified a yellow-billed loon on Wall Lake in Iowa,” he says. “That’s like finding a silver dollar among a bunch of punched-out slugs, or a contact lens in a snowbank.”

    MY CRYPTO RECOVERY TESTIMONY 2024

    I just wanted to take a moment to share my incredible story of recovery and gratitude. As a woman who recently underwent surgery on my kidney, I was already dealing with a lot of stress and uncertainty. But what made it even worse was when I was scammed out of $44,000 in a cryptocurrency investment that promised me a return of $84,000. It was devastating to think that I’d lost all that money and would have to go into debt to cover my surgery expenses. But then I found Jetwebhackers, and they changed everything. They worked tirelessly to recover not only my initial investment of $44,000, but also the promised profit. I was blown away by their expertise and dedication to getting me back on my feet.
