Green Bay doctor sharing life-saving skills with surgeons in Bolivia

A Green Bay doctor is saving lives across northeast Wisconsin and sharing that gift with surgeons in South America.

Prevea’s Dr. Erin Stevens is packing for Sucre this weekend , and even though she’s made the trip before, she says this one is special, because it’s Solidarity Bridge’s 25th year.

“This is from our first trip to Bolivia it’s actually one of the only pictures I have of myself operating,” Dr. Stevens shared while talking about her work in South America.

Dr. Stevens is an Obstetrician Gynecologic Oncologist, and she’s sharing her surgical expertise through Solidarity Bridge.

That’s a partnership of doctors who are dedicated to teaching other medical professionals in under-served regions like Bolivia.

Doctors like Stevens are able to perform potentially life-saving procedures that many North American cancer patients might take for granted.

“I get to go down there and teach them the techniques they need that they can build on year after year. This will be my fourth year, and I’m really excited to see where they’ve come,” Dr. Stevens said.
