Dr. Rodrigo Soto, CEO of clinical operations at ICHF, joined the junior kindergarten class at Hutchinson School earlier this month to assist with sheep heart dissections that the girls were doing in honor of American Heart Month.
Heart Background
Dr. Soto visited the class to give background on the heart, helped the students understand the dissection process and facilitated further discussion and learning. He guided the students through the dissection process, explaining the different parts of the heart as well as telling his story of what he does each day to help save children’s lives around the world.
This unique collaboration between the Memphis-based nonprofit and the East Memphis school came together during Congenital Heart Defect Awareness week, a part of American Heart Month.
