NASHVILLE, Feb. 9, 2011 /Christian Newswire/ -- Cardiologist Dr. Mark W. Sheehan, author of the critically acclaimed book "Healing Prayer on Holy Ground," will lead a cardiac team to Cambodia later this month with Christian Medical Ministry to Cambodia/Jeremiah's Hope (www.cmmcjh.com) providing much needed medical tools and care to the Cambodian community.

Leaving at the beginning of February, Dr. Sheehan, co-founder and chairman of the board for Jeremiah's Hope, will head the first of two cardiac teams to visit Cambodian through late February. Dr. Daniel L. Smith (Cardiothoracic Surgery) will lead the second team. The group will bring with them many thousands of dollars of donated medical equipment, performing 90-120 cardiac consultations and 10 open heart operations for congenital and rheumatic heart disease.

Sheehan comments, "Mission Work is all about relationships. This WORK has to be done HIS way and according to HIS timing."

In addition to medical care, the team will continue to teach their Cambodian medical colleagues, working alongside Cambodian nurses and physicians who supervise the medical care of the Cambodian patients year-round.
