WiRED International is proud to introduce Dr. Ara Nahabedian, orthopedic surgeon at Leighton Hospital in Crewe, Cheshire, England. He joins WiRED’s team as a medical consultant and translation coordinator for WiRED’s Community Health Education (CHE) e-library program in Armenia.
Building on last year’s exploratory trip, WiRED International revisited Armenia in order to open several community health education centers (CHEs) and scout out more locations for future activities.
WiRED International’s Health Education Learning Portal (W-HELP e-library) continues to grow in new and exciting ways. Our e-library allows physicians and nurses, patients, community health workers and others in underserved regions to address the prevention and treatment of both infectious and non-communicable diseases.
Jason, who directed and produced our informational video, “Introduction to WiRED International,” with actor Michael Constantine, is the film editor for a recent documentary, “20 Feet from Stardom,” which won a 2014 Academy Award.
WiRED International returned from a 12-day trip to establish two Community Health Education (CHE) centers in Peru—one in Iquitos and one in Pevas.
WiRED International begins 2014 with a return to the remote Amazon headwaters of eastern Peru, where we will set up Community Health Education (CHE) facilities in the towns of Iquitos and Pevas.
WiRED began 2014 with an exciting lineup of programs designed to advance our health training activities worldwide. Our medical writers, editors and outside consultants will continue expanding and updating WiRED’s extensive Community Health Information (CHI) e-library. Translators, meanwhile, will continue converting modules into languages including Spanish, Arabic, Armenian and Mandarin.
All of us at WiRED would like to congratulate board member Elizabeth Fine, Ph.D., for her recent faculty award at Virginia Tech. Betty, who has taught communication and cultural studies for more than 30 years on the Blacksburg campus, has written three books and many scholarly articles.
