Dr. Powner, a true testament of the power of giving
Medical Bridges recognizes that its volunteers are
the healing hands to those who lack basic medical equipment and supplies. It is through their support and efforts that Medical Bridges can achieve its goal- to bridge the healthcare gap worldwide. One of our regular volunteers is Dr. David Powner, a retired critical care physician who while working in the Neurotrauma ICU at Memorial Hermann Hospital felt drawn to the support of the Hospital's medical staff and volunteers gathering supplies for Medical Bridges. The desire to volunteer at Medical Bridges, after retirement, just felt natural to Dr. Powner. Dr. Powner joined our volunteer team in 2012 and we are extremely grateful for his continued dedication, time and expertise. Thank you Dr. Powner you are a true testament of the power of giving.
