DOCS is pleased to announce that it has merged with HEAL Africa effective November 14, 2014. The history of DOCS and HEAL Africa is intertwined since its inception. During the summer of 1993 Dr. Jo Lusi and his wife, Lyn, visited the United States and were the house guests of Dr. Paul and Macky Groen. Though they lived on different continents, the four of them discovered that they shared many perspectives and passions. The Lusis lived and worked in Africa. Dr. Jo had been born in DRC, and Lyn lived most of her adult life in Africa. The Groens had served in medical missions in Nigeria during the 1960s before moving back to the United States. Subsequently, the Groens made frequent trips to serve and teach in African hospitals. These four Christians spoke at length about the need for more trained physicians and better health care in Africa - health care that would address physical, spiritual, and emotional needs for all. These kindred spirits then went back to their respective homes. Their next encounter took place during March of 1994 in Nairobi, Kenya. Here the vision, thoughts, prayers, and communications that had taken place since the meeting in the US began to take shape. The Lusis and the Groens agreed that they had a calling to meet these health care and educational challenges through a cooperative venture. The Groens returned to form a not-for-profit corporation in the United States while the Lusi's began sharing the vision and eliciting support and cooperation from Africa organizations. They agreed to name this new organization, Doctors on Call for Service (DOCS). In 1996 Dr. Jo Lusi became the DOCS African Director and Dr. Paul Groen served as Chair of the DOCS Board. Goma was chosen as the location for the establishment of a teaching hospital. Lyn and Macky filled multiple roles, often without title or compensation, in these early years. By 1999 Lyn Lusi became an employee and was compensated for her extraordinary efforts in identifying and meeting needs in the Goma region. The early years were filled with the typical challenges of starting a new organization. The difficulties for this new organization were multiplied by the social and political instability that characterized the eastern DRC region. The effects of the Rwandan genocide of 1994 spilled over into DRC, and the First (1996-1997) and Second (1998-2003) Congo wars resulted in many casualties and caused massive social instability. DOCS kept growing and serving the people of eastern DRC in spite of these difficulties and challenges. The Nyiragongo volcanic eruption in 2002 presented great challenges and great opportunities for the work. The world became aware of the needs of eastern DRC and many responded with gifts. In Goma the needs were overwhelming and varied. The organization rebuilt its facilities, adding staff and programs to meet the needs. Dr. Jo Lusi gave direction to the medical staff and facility construction; meanwhile Lyn Lusi focused on me
