Dr. Ahmed H. Barhoush passed peacefully on September 6, 2021 surrounded by his family and close friends.
Dr. Barhoush lived a life guided by the principles of generosity, compassion and service, centered around his family, patients and community. Among the most respected physicians in his field - his commitment to his patients was only matched by that to his wife Samar and 7 children.
Born in Kufr Al Labd in 1942, Dr. Barhoush migrated to the United States to complete his medical degree before settling in Belle Glade, Florida in 1974. With his wife Samar by his side, he spent the next 45 years serving the local community and as an OBGYN, he proudly delivered over 20,000 children.
He was a loving husband, father to seven, grandfather to fourteen and a proud Palestinian American.
In honor of his life and in lieu of flowers, the Barhoush family is encouraging donations to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF).
The PCRF is a legally-registered non-political, non-profit, 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization established in 1991 by concerned people to address the medical and humanitarian needs of Palestinian and Arab youths in the Middle East. We have provided thousands of children life-saving care based on their need, not on religion, gender, nationality or sect.
The main objective of the PCRF is to identify and treat every child in the Middle East in need of specialized surgery not available to them locally. We locate, sponsor and run international, volunteer medical missions to the Middle East, in additional to locating free medical care abroad for children who cannot be adequately treated in the Middle East. The PCRF is the main organization regularly sending injured and sick Arab children to North and South America, the Middle East and Europe for free care that is not available to them there. Since 1991 over 1,000 children have been abroad for millions of dollars of donated care, and over 10,000 have had complex surgery by our visiting medical missions to the region. The PCRF has been awarded the top 4-star rating by Charity Navigator for fiscal management, while being able to treat more kids than any other charity in the Middle East.
