“In Loving Memory of Jonathan Putman-Drake: Continuing His Legacy of Telemedicine”

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our brother Jonathan Putman-Drake on October 3, 2024 due to an unexpected cancer diagnoses. As a member of the rotary club he was a visionary who worked tirelessly to bring accessible healthcare through telemedicine to remote and underserved communities. He dedicated his life to improving the well-being of people in need, bridging the gap between advanced medical care and those living far from healthcare facilities.

Jon was a compassionate individual who recognized the profound challenges faced by those in rural and hard-to-reach areas when it came to accessing medical care. Through his work in telemedicine, Jon was able to transform lives, ensuring that people received timely and expert care, regardless of their location. His most notable contribution was in helping to rebuild and develop innovative healthcare solutions for those in Haiti following a devastating earthquake that claimed many lives and displaced others as well as his medical contributions in Africa and India.

In honor of Jonathan and his life’s work, we are raising funds to:

1. Continue supporting telemedicine in remote areas through the World Telehealth Initiative and Reaching Souls International.

2. Cover his final expenses and donate to other causes close to his heart.

Your donation, no matter the size, will help keep Jon’s mission alive and ensure that his vision of accessible healthcare for all continues to flourish.

Thank you for your support in ensuring his legacy lives on.
