Book excerpt: MY HEART IT IS DELICIOUS is the amazing and inspiring story of how a baker's dozen of Minnesota volunteers responded to an international health crisis half a world away and helped transform refugee medical care across the globe. When the American Refugee Committee of Minneapolis sent a small medical team to tend the sick and starving refugees on the war-torn Thai-Cambodian border in 1979, the fledging nonprofit had no idea its work would last into the twenty-first century. Neither did many of ARC's volunteer nurses and physicians, who realized when they returned to Minnesota that they and western medicine needed to change if non-English-speaking refugees had any hope of better health care upon their arrival in America. MY HEART IT IS DELICIOUS tells many stories of the American Refugee Committee, the Minneapolis Center for Victims of Torture, the Center for International Health, as well as of patients and practitioners like Dr. Walker.
