It is with the heaviest of hearts that I bring the sad news of Dr. Ken Kornetsky’s passing on August 18, 2025. I only had the pleasure of knowing Dr. Ken for the last five or so years, and already I feel such a deep loss. He was a truly wonderful person who gave so much of himself, always looking to help others.
Dr. Ken was a tireless supporter of Medical Missionaries, especially the St. Joseph Clinic. Every Wednesday evening, you could find him on a call with Junior, the clinic manager, helping to debug the latest issue. Whether it was finding more medications, building a lab, ensuring solar panels were working, securing potable water, training staff, reviewing medical files, or dealing with the latest pandemic, Dr. Ken was always ready to help. He gave expert advice and endless encouragement.
A memorial service for Dr Korentsky will be held on Sep 15th at 6pm.
Our prayers are with the Kornetsky family.
