This Friday, I will join 15 Atlanta area medical volunteers on a cardiac mission trip with the non-profit Heart Attack Ethiopia, Inc.. I will be there to document their work and bring home the stories of their acts of selflessness and heroism. It will no doubt be a life-changing experience!

Deeply grateful to the Atlanta volunteer team, led by Tesfaye A. Telila MD, FACC,FSCAI. & Heart Attack Ethiopia, Inc. for packing over $1M in donated medical supplies. Excited to welcome you next Friday for 100+ life-saving cardiac surgeries. Huge thanks to Ethiopian Airlines & all supporters! #በጎነትለጤናችን

Our second cardiac mission trip to Ethiopia is underway. Our volunteer team has departed Atlanta’s airport for the 14-hour flight to Addis Ababa. Ethiopia - here we come! #cardiac #nonprofit #mission #ethiopia

Absolutely heartbroken for everyone impacted by Hurricane Helene. Especially my folks in Western North Carolina. Me and my team have been making some calls and I think we’ve got something really special lined up to help the Carolinas as much as we can. More details to come ASAP.

🚨 WEST NORTH CAROLINA STARLINK UPDATE: Cell signal is still practically NON-EXISTENT. Our Asheville Starlink hubs are handling HUNDREDS of people connected to them simultaneously. They’ve been a MASSIVE hit so far, so I’m buying 10 more, and Brandon Meadows will be flying

My 80+ dad is safe in Asheville. He finally got through on his cell Sunday using a fine citizen’s Starlink connection at a fire dept. My brother just made it to him from Atlanta. He has power now but no water so my brother brought him plenty of water and food supplies.

I couldn’t reach my dad for days. I thought maybe his phone died. I only learned of the Asheville flooding on X and Reddit. Then and saw I had a voicemail from my dad! How did he get through? These guys set up Starlink devices for public use. These are the heroes. Nick Sortor

🚨 30 STARLINKS have just arrived by plane in Western North Carolina! This is HUGE! And NC State Highway Patrol is now giving us a POLICE ESCORT to deliver ten of them to rural towns outside of Asheville and reconnect them! THANK YOU Ryan Hall, Y’all, Shawn Hendrix, and

One hour away from Asheville, Greenville is open for business. A Chick-Fil-A, Walmart, some gas stations serving customers.

Roads were clear to Asheville from Atlanta. We hooked a generator to the fridge, grabbed my dad, and are headed back to Georgia! No issues on the road headed back either. #helene #ashevilleflooding

The National Guard is getting water and food to take out to community center organizations.

Happy birthday, Dr. Tesfaye A. Telila MD, FACC,FSCAI.. Keep up the good work to change the world of cardiac care!

What a game!

Mission reunion! Volunteers from our previous medical mission trips reunited this weekend. The team got together with our board members to celebrate the success of our August mission trip in which the lives of 90 cardiac patients were saved. We are now planning for our next

There's no greater satisfaction than the feeling of being able to help someone! After a long day in the OR, our celebrated perfusionist from Mayo Clinic Cardiac Surgery , Mesifn Dollar, is spreading joy and hope by dancing an Ethiopian cultural dance! Join our team Heart Attack Ethiopia, Inc. AND

Thank you Team Piedmont!

On our first day working at a charity hospital in Ethiopia, we were called to a government hospital just a block away. God put us there at the right time for this father of three who would otherwise not be here today. God bless this team.
