Carolyn Klaus, M.D. Carolyn, a board certified internist, became skilled in the care of AIDS patients at Esperanza Health Center, a clinic she founded in Latino North Philadelphia. With mentoring from an international agency, she also learned how to do community development in this context. In recent years she has applied these experiences internationally through founding Hope In View ministries to help mobilize churches and pastors to address the AIDS crisis in a biblical and compassionate way. She has initiated a community health development project in Peru, taught Ethiopian physicians and Mozambican community leaders on AIDS care, organized a network of AIDS ministries in Ukraine, and designed a conference on AIDS in Kenya. She continues to work part-time as a staff physician at Memorial Health System in South Bend, IN. |
