Team Heart and Its Rwanda Ministry

“Stowe resident Mark Sgantas is always up for an adventure. And, he’s always willing to lend a helping hand.

“Sgantas is chief of the Stowe Fire Department and has spearheaded volunteer trips to Mississippi following Hurricane Katrina and New York following Hurricane Sandy.

“He’s also a nurse at Fletcher Allen Health Care, where’s he worked on the cardiac thoracic medicine floor for the past 18 years.”

Stowe, VT, Fire Chief Mark Sgantas plans to travel to Rwanda (with another Fletcher Allen nurse) in February as part of Team Heart, a medical team (based in the Boston area) that is planning to perform a number of heart-valve surgeries.
