The animals in Kayla Griffith’s backyard have changed in recent months.Instead of seeing dogs and cats, now she sees lions, hippos, elephants and giraffes. It comes with the territory when you live in the remote African country of Tanzania, a place Dr. Griffith has called home since July 2016.A graduate of the WCHS class of 2000, Griffith has journeyed to the other side of the globe to help a nation smothered by woeful healthcare. The difference in healthcare is as pronounced as the difference in animals.“If a person is in the hospital and needs IV fluids, their family has to go out and buy the IV,” said Dr. Griffith.
