Tim Tebow

The Tim Tebow Foundation announced their plans to build a new hospital in Philippines. Tim Tebow, Denver Broncos quarterback, is happy to contribute in his birth country, helping kids to receive better healthcare attention. Cure International along with Tim Tebow Foundation plan to break ground on the new medical facility during the following months and complete the building by mid-2013. The 'Tebow CURE Hospital' would have 30 patient beds and treat such maladies as club foot and bow legs on the island of Mindanao.

The Broncos superstar has opened 12 other hospital around the world, including Haiti, Bangladesh, Ethiopia and Afghanistan. Time Tebow Foundation with the partnership of CURE International expects to build a $3.1 million medical facility that would provide services to the poorest, most needy children. The foundation is asking Tim Tebow fans to consider joining them in this effort.

Juan – Great article. A slight correction, though; CURE does operate a number of hospitals worldwide, but the only hospital that the Tebow Foundation is opening is the CURE hospital in the Philippines.
