Phil Wendschuh, M.D.
Chairman of the Board
Medical and Ethics Director
Phil is in his 17th year as a cardiologist for North Ohio Heart Center after completing his cardiology fellowship at the Cleveland Clinic. He lives in the Cleveland, Ohio area and has special interests in pacemakers, coronary artery disease, peripheral arterial disease, as well as general cardiology. He has made trips to Peru and Ghana with CardioStart over the last few years, and has made several other international trips to the Dominican Republic and Ghana with other charitable organizations. He has been instrumental in gaining Cardiovascular equipment to Ghana through various avenues, but particularly with MedWish International in Cleveland. In addition to pacemaker implantation, his goals are to help the local physicians “help themselves” by providing realistic continuing education and equipment. Another goal is to build up a volunteer base for Cardiovascular disease that will bring current diagnostic and therapeutic technology to developing countries. He has sponsored some Ghanaian students in their educational goals as well.
