Dr. Petr Šantavý of the Palacky University Hospital in our Sister City of Olomouc, Czech Republic with the endorsement by the Chair of the Cardiac Surgery Department, will be hosted for a month long exchange from April 14 - May 13, 2007. Owensboro Mercy Health System, Jewish Hospital in Louisville and Owensboro Sister Cities / Regions are cooperating for the purpose of this exchange.
 
OMHS has hosted five doctors from our Sister City in the past and we participated in a March 1998 exchange of Dr. Ken Henderson, then Senior Vice President of Medical Staff Affairs at OMHS with Palacky University Hospital. This is the first request for a specific medical specialty exchange. As the request is being initiated through our Sister City relationship, Owensboro Sister Cities will help support the exchange visit. Specific professional needs in support of the exchange are being discussed between Sister Cities and OHMS. Dr. Doug Adams is the lead host Cardiac Surgeon at OMHS.
 
Dr. Peter Šantavý is the son of two well-known physicians in Olomouc. Both parents visited OMHS during a 2000 medical exchange. We are requesting hosting families for this exchange and would welcome offers to host Dr. Šantavý for outings or receptions with your friends during the stay.
