STAND UP FOR YOUR HEALTH
Did you know that sitting for 6-8 hours per day is associated with an increased risk of chronic illness and early death—regardless of how much you exercise? In other words, regular workouts don’toffsetthenegativeeffectsof sitting too much. Get out of your seat and on your feet at least once to twice an hour, and try an adjustable sit to stand desk at work.
non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC), an inherited condition that raises the risk of cancer. The man was running for mayor of his town but was feeling too exhausted all the time, even after minimal exertion. As it turned out, the man had a large intestinal tumor that would require a surgery normally too complex for a mobile hospital. After weighing their options, the surgical team decided to perform the surgery because the man could not travel to the nearest hospital in Lima.
They invited the local doctor to observe the surgery and provide aftercare in the form of chemotherapy. Despite it being a complex procedure, the patient did well without narcotics, and took only acetaminophen for pain. The man’s good nature, stamina, and impressive recovery—despite not have the luxury of surgery in a hospital and narcotics for pain—made a lasting impression on the entire surgical team.
On this most recent trip to Peru, Dr. Bamboat was thrilled to see the man he had operated on the year before. While the man did not win his bid for mayor, he was doing well after his surgery. This time, the man brought along his mother and older brother to the second visit, as both had abdominal tumors. Dr. Bamboat’s team performed successful surgery on the mother and was able to refer his brother for further treatment.
How does UHMLA select a location?
Members of the board, including physicians and other medical professionals, vote on and approve proposed locations. Board members, including Dr. Bamboat and Dr. Rolandelli, will then lead the trips following UHMLA board approval.
Making a connection with the local community and empowering local healthcare providers is essential to UHMLA’s success—and a smart move. After all, “You can’t can’t just show up in Peru and expect people lined up waiting to see you,” Dr. Bamboat says. “In each country, we need to have a reliable local consult.” This is especially important given that the group primarily performs surgeries, which typically require follow-up care long after UHMLA leaves. To ensure continuity of care, UHMLA makes contact with a local doctor or healthcare provider who can check in on the patient during the recovery phase.
In addition to Peru, UHMLA has already provided care in Guatemala, Honduras, and Ecuador. What’s next for the nonprofit? “We’re hoping to go to other countries,” Dr. Bamboat says, including Argentina.
Dr. Rolandalli echos this vision. He says that UHMLA is hoping to expand to more areas and have mobile units that can move from country to country in succession. “My goal is to keep adding locations and connect all those dots.” He also envisions the ability to fly medical personnel in and out to meet the mobile units for greater efficacy and safety.
Are other hospitals primed to join in the UHMLA’s mission? “We would like to open the option for other [American] hospitals to participate,” says Dr. Rolandelli, many of which have expressed interest already.
In the meantime, he along with Dr. Bamboat, Dr. Kuchera, Dr. and the rest of the team are honored to carry the banner and continue making meaningful connections with their global neighbors.

12Invest in Quality Supplements

19Don’t Neglect Your Warm-Up
An effective warm-up doesn’t need to take more than ive minutes, but it’ll make a huge difference for your workout.
