Local doctor provides hurricane relief in the Bahamas

Sleeping on the porch of a hurricane-battered house with no electricity felt luxurious to Dr. Jean Andersson-Swayze—it was an upgrade from the previous nights she spent camping on the ground in a shanty town on Abaco, an island in the Bahamas that was suffering the effects of Hurricane Dorian. Andersson-Swayze was there as part of a medical rescue team led by Heart to Heart International; she made two trips this fall, one in the direct aftermath of the hurricane, and another in early November.
