[Liz Peo] has helped establish a cardiac unit and a blood bank in Children's Hospital No. 2 in Tbilisi. She is also involved in projects to improve the hospital's pediatric intensive care unit and to solicit aid for a Tbilisi school for deaf children.

Peo got involved with Global Healing in 1995 after her husband's death two years earlier left her struggling to find her way. When her friend, Dave Niles, co-founder of Global Healing, told her about the organization's mission and asked her to join the board, "it just clicked," Peo said. "I just knew this was something I wanted to do."

In addition to maintaining the cardiac unit, Peo and the other Global Healing board members have established a modern blood bank and are working to update the pediatric intensive care unit. Although the doctors are being trained, they can't do the necessary operations without proper supplies, Peo said.
