Four Rotarians recently traveled to Armenia to visit three hospitals and an orphanage supported by their clubs. The delegation included Daniel Harutunian and Kim Mowder of the Rotary Club of Westlake Village Sunrise, along with Frank MacMahan and Scott Hoolahan of the Rotary Club of Santa Clarita.
During their visit, the Rotarians were warmly welcomed by the Rotaract Club of Yerevan and the Rotary Club of Gyumri. Their trip included musical performances, meetings with high school students involved in a youth club, and a visit to a high school specializing in music and dance, where talented young students showcased their skills.
A key focus of the clubs’ humanitarian efforts has been providing essential medical equipment to hospitals serving Armenian communities. Through the collaborative efforts of the Rotary Clubs of Westlake Village Sunrise, Cayucos, and Santa Clarita, an X-ray machine and patient monitoring equipment were delivered to support local healthcare services.
The equipment is especially important to Goris Medical Center, which serves a community deeply affected by the 2023 conflict and its humanitarian consequences. Access to reliable medical equipment is vital to improving patient care and meeting the community’s ongoing healthcare needs.
