We are delighted to share a significant milestone in Tenwek Hospital’s journey as a PAACS training site. This month, we officially dedicated and opened the
Dr. Paul Brady Resident Housing Complex. This new facility represents an answered prayer and a major step forward in our shared mission of being “a Christian community dedicated to excellence in compassionate healthcare, spiritual ministry, and training for service.”
A Critical Need Met
For many years, the lack of adequate housing has been one of the greatest barriers to expanding our residency programs. Since 2017–2018, we have discussed the urgent need for additional space, and in recent years, several of our 40 post-graduate trainees have had to live off campus due to limited housing. This shortage not only constrained our ability to grow our programs but also limited our capacity to host visiting trainees who could benefit from time at Tenwek.
A Home for Training, Ministry, and Service
The Dr. Paul Brady Resident Housing Complex provides 29 new units, a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, allowing us to welcome more trainees and their families into the Tenwek community. By addressing this critical need, we can now expand the number of medical and surgical residents we train, which in turn strengthens both compassionate healthcare and spiritual ministry. Training for service enables these two vital aspects of our mission to flourish.
Looking Forward Together
This new housing complex is more than just a building; it is an investment in the future of Christian physicians and surgeons across Africa. As we send out graduates to serve in Kenya and beyond, they embody the motto of Tenwek Hospital: “We treat, Jesus heals.” We are deeply grateful for PAACS’ partnership, and we look forward to welcoming new residents into these homes as we continue equipping servant leaders for transformational impact.
