Named for Ruth Paz, a US native who dedicated her life to help the
underprivileged children of Honduras, the Ruth Paz Hospital for Burns and
Pediatric Surgery is a program of the Ruth Paz Foundation, which has been
active in seeking medical treatment for children for over 30 years. "My mother
was an incredible guardian for the children of Honduras and I am honored that
the musicians of New Orleans would come together for this important cause,"
said Michael Paz.
In May of 2000, a diverse group of musicians and fans gathered at the Howlin'
Wolf for Paz Fest 1, a memorable night of music that started the fundraising
effort to support the Ruth Paz Hospital for Burns and Pediatric Surgery. The
project broke ground in 2004 and was completed in August 2010. A CD of Paz
Fest 1 was released and continues to fund this very important project. It can be
purchased at http://www.cdbaby.com/pazfest. Thirteen years later, Paz Fest III will
celebrate the music of Joni Mitchell and support hospital and will be recorded
for a new recording.
About the Ruth Paz Hospital for Burns and Pediatric Surgery
The Ruth Paz Foundation is a non-profit, tax deductible - Status 501 C-3 - charitable organization
dedicated in providing life-changing medical care and support to underprivileged Honduran children
and their families Since the 1970´s, the Ruth Paz Foundation has enabled the access of
marginalized children to specialized burn wound management and congenital birth defect
treatments in the United States. The Ruth Paz Foundation is financed predominantly
through private funds, with occasional government funds. The goal of the Ruth Paz

pediatric surgeries, decreasing the waiting periods at the regional level.
