The American Public Health Association (APHA) this week praised a video produced by the Israel Collective, a project of Christians United for Israel, showcasing an Israeli charitable organization and medical center dedicated to saving the lives of children regardless of race, religion, or culture. Presented in Chicago on Nov. 3 at the 143rd APHA Annual Meeting & Exposition, the video— titled “The Heart of Israel” and shown during the APHA Global Film Festival—was recognized as an “Official Selection” by the public health advocacy group.  The video features the work of Save a Child’s Heart (SACH), a non-profit that provides life-saving heart procedures for children from developing countries. The group’s executive director, Simon Fisher, notes, “To date, the organization has saved the lives of more than 3,500 children from 48 countries here in Israel at the Wolfson Medical Center.” READ MORE
