AHEPA Chapter 29

Congratulations to Gretchen Holtsinger elected to Grand Vice President of the Daughters of Penelope. Axia

As Bob Dylan wrote/sang, "the times they are a'changin'". Or are they? Most of us here, including myself, are the descendants of immigrants or immigrants themselves. So, here's an interesting read. I invite you to read and reflect.

Ship Jumpers: An Unspoken Chapter of Greek Immigration to the United States - The Pappas Post Descendants of Greek immigrants in America have long boasted that their ancestors came legally. Immigration history questions that belief.

Our AHEPA 29 brother Dean Crassas celebrates an impressive milestone! 

Port Medical Management, LLC was never just a business — it was born from listening, caring, and responding to a real, human need.

In 2005, what began as Crassas 's passion for improving lives through healthcare took shape when he recognized a shared challenge of many shipowners and agents in the maritime world: “𝘓𝘰𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘮𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘯 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘸 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦-𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘶𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘵.”

So, he decided to build a better way. With a clear vision and a commitment to solving real problems, he founded Port Medical Management, LLC — prioritizing efficient, compassionate medical case management across all U.S. ports.

Today, we celebrate 20 years and are proud to have supported 30,000+ lives by always putting crew welfare at the center of what we do.
