UPDATES ON EXISTING PROJECTS

1. Vickie Blade Pacemaker Program GG 1743667- host San Angel ($116,000 for 400
pacemakers, sponsor Carmel IN) – presenter Pedro Fernandez

The paperwork took much longer than expected but was completed in September 2018.
The National Institute of cardiology leads the pack of six hospitals which are currently
officially authorized to conduct pacemaker implantation surgeries. Three more hospitals
will soon be joining the list, including Hospital Civil in Guadalajara (where H2H has been
doing grant projects already). December 2018 will be the first big shipment of 1200
pacemakers, which will include the 400 pacemakers for the first global grant. The
anticipated starting date for the grant pacemakers is XXXX and the expected completion
date is YYYYY. Some training has been done, and more training is scheduled.

All the grants funds have been received. $32,600 has been spent, primarily on paperwork
fees, hospital registration fees, training, and marketing and promotion (such as a new
Facebook page).

The club works with the hospitals to control the pacemaker distribution so that there are
limited deliveries to each single hospital.
