Tanzania Health Partnership Staff
Elizabeth Hendrickson
Development and Communications Manager
After living in Kenya for 4 years, I was excited to find a job based in Minnesota where I could still connect to life in East Africa! Supporting an incredible hospital– like DCMC– makes my job easy and fun. I love to tell the stories of the compassionate, lifesaving work happening at the medical center and connecting with donors who help to make it all happen!
Favorite Tanzanian Food: Pilau
Best Safari Experience: Seeing a cheetah run (very fast) across the savannah
Favorite Minnesota Pastime: Watching baseball in the summer and sledding in the winter
