Jerry Edwards acts as an educational conduit between the medical system and Plain Communities (Amish, Mennonnite & other people who cautiously engage with mainstream technology & practices). In particular, he has been sharing in medical circles an inexpensive & effective technique for burn & wound treatment, innovated among the Amish about 30 years ago. A significant issue is trust & mutual respect for the different priorities & decisions of Plain folks accessing medical services.
Jerry has helped organize a February 12, 2019, Plain Medical/Burn & Wounds Conference at the La Crosse, WI, Gunderson Campus, in the ICE House (Integrated Center for Education - 1827 Sims Place), 8:30 am - 5 pm.
