Board of Directors

Answering the Call to Help a People in Great Need…

Todd Winter, MD Internal Medicine: Director

After my first trip to Papua New Guinea (PNG) in 1998 I have felt a passion to help the people of PNG through the work of the hospital. I have seen the love of God represented through the lives of doctors, nurses, and support staff caring for the medical needs of everyone who walks through the doors of Kudjip Nazarene Hospital. Genuinely caring for people in their time of greatest need opens the door to share the gospel of Jesus Christ changing lives for eternity. It is a privilege to work alongside so many committed, dedicated, selfless individuals, who work tirelessly for the benefit of others to improve physical health so that the Gospel of Christ may be spread.

Don Prescott, Edward Jones Certified Financial Advisor

My name is Don Prescott and my passion for Papua New Guinea dates back to 2005 when I got introduced to the country through the Nazarene Hospital Foundation Golf Tournament. As a certified financial planner in Medford Oregon, I have enjoyed being a part of the Nazarene Hospital Foundation by praying for the people of PNG, loading containers, and sharing the needs of the people of PNG with my community. What has always interested me about the people of Papua New Guinea is their appreciation of family and community. My wife and I were able to fulfill a dream of ours and visit PNG in 2012. It was amazing.

Matt Thompson, MD Anesthesiologist

Being an anesthesiologist, I had the privilege of taking two short term mission trips to Papua New Guinea to work at Kudjip Nazarene Hospital. Seeing what can be accomplished, even with limited resources, has made this Foundation dear to my heart.
