In 2011, the Rotary Club of Porterville President, Mr. Foltz, expressed interest in visiting the Shamlaji Hospital in India, to see first hand, how the equipment purchased from the Rotary Funds was serving the Hospital's clients. So, PFF planned a customized tour to India. It was a month long trip which included a visit to the Shamlaji Hospital and attendance of the Rotary District Conference at Jaipur. The PFF Board members, Dr. Gaurang Pandya, Ms. Betty Bluekle and Ms. Mickie Manning also joined the trip.
Upon hearing of the visit by PFF and Rotary members, Dr. Haren Joshi from the Shamlaji Hospital requested that Dr. Pandya provide some training to his staff on the use of Ultrasound as a diagnostic tool. Dr. Pandya prepared a detail to day training program. An open walk-in ultrasound clinic was also planned for the local people as a part of training so that the hospital staff can have practical experience under Dr. Pandya's supervision.
