Wisconsin woman travels to Samoa to help save lives

Kubee will be traveling from the US to Samoa on April 26th to bring medical care to children. 

It's all in an effort to reduce the burden of childhood Rheumatic Heart Disease, otherwise known RHD.

RHD is the condition of strep throat that if left untreated, may damage the heart and lead to potential fatal outcomes. 

Working with the Rheumatic Relief program, Kubee is now on a mission to find out why Samoans have the highest rates of RHD in the world.
