Roseville Doctor to Join Hope Project in Peru
Star Tribune March 30, 1962 Roseville Doctor to Join HOPE Project in Peru A Roseville doctor who teaches at the University of Minnesota will leave his home Monday to spend two months in Peru with Project HOPE. Dr. Robert Horton, 39, 26 Mid Oaks Lane, will be treating patients and teaching students at the University of Liberty, Trujillo, Peru. Horton, an instructor in gynecology and obstetrics, will be serving as a member of an unpaid medical team aboard the private hospital ship HOPE. Besides teaching at the Trujillo medical school, Horton will go out into the country to give medical care. Why send an obstetrician to Peru? "In backward areas," Horton said, "maternal and infant death rates are atrociously high. These backward areas need the most medical help in the areas of pediatrics and obstetrics." Horton, married and the father of three, said his "original reason" for volunteering was that the floating medical center "seemed like a good method for adding other countries and finding out what their medical problems are like."
