Trusting God Amidst Lockdown: CURE Philippines
“Healing changes everything” is a statement that I’ve lived by for the past eight years that I’ve been involved with CURE. However, since the impact of COVID-19, I’ve found myself wondering what that statement means when our hospital decides to cancel elective cases and limit the number of patients we see at clinics. Every Monday […]
Standing Tall – Adoy’s Story
John Arnold, also known as “Adoy” to his dear family and friends, is full of character! He is jolly and friendly and very polite to everyone. But, even though he’s the kind of kid that you’d want to hang out with all day, he is still bullied due to his disability. He was born without […]
Far More Abundantly
Back in early 2017, mobile clinics intimidated me. Each one was a culmination of about six weeks of work within communities up to three hours away from the Tebow CURE Hospital. We’d spend six weeks creating partnerships, educating health and social workers, and preparing a venue for the Tebow CURE team to screen patients. All […]
Tebow CURE Hospital tackles lack of access to medical care
I have a confession. I’m sitting in a Starbucks as I write this article. Directly below me is a Krispy Kreme doughnut shop. Just down the hall is a state-of-the-art movie theater, complete with an IMAX cinema. You might be surprised to learn that I am only three blocks from Tebow CURE Hospital. Over the […]
Nurses spread CURE values
There is a running joke in the Philippines that “the best export of the Philippines is the Filipino worker!” Countries worldwide appreciate the Filipino work ethic: hardworking and reliable, with an exceptional approach to caring for others. When we ask our patients what they dream of becoming when they grow up, many tell us, “I […]
Tebow CURE’s five founding nurses
We’ve seen a lot of changes at Tebow CURE Hospital over the last few years. As patient numbers grew, we witnessed an increase in staff, the expansion of the third floor, and spiritual growth among our team members. When we opened our doors in November 2014, dozens of staff members were anxious to serve our […]
“Ugly” wasn’t her true identity
“I’m sorry if my daughter hides her face from the camera. She often gets called ‘ugly,’” Christyn’s mother, Arlyn, shared. On November 5th, 2018, empty chairs filled the ground-floor lobby at Tebow CURE Hospital, waiting for our usual mix of orthopedic clinic patients along with cleft lip and palate patients attending our cleft clinic. We […]
Kneeling no more
JV Boy couldn’t stand. He walked on his knees through elementary and high school. For 14 years, JV Boy’s knees took him everywhere, even on motorcycle rides. “I packed lunch for him so he didn’t have to leave school in the middle of the day. It takes so much effort for him to go to […]
Tebow CURE Hospital celebrates third-floor grand opening!
For the nearly four years since Tebow CURE Hospital opened its doors, the elevators mysteriously “skipped” the third floor. Visitors would ask why, and over the years, the stories became more creative and even a little silly. We would joke, “Oh, that’s the employee’s secret disco club,” or, “That’s the penthouse suite!” After a shared […]
Night to Shine: A glimpse of heaven
People with special needs can receive love like any other person in this world. Three years ago, armed with a heart to share this truth and a wonderful partnership with the Tim Tebow Foundation, we came up with a one-of-a-kind event for our special needs friends. In 2016, our Night to Shine prom was born. […]
