OF SPECIAL NOTE
In
January, 2006, the doctors of the Center for Women’s
Health joined a very talented and energetic medical team and
participated in a medical mission to the Dominican Republic.
The mission was sponsored by St. Luke’s Episcopal Church
in Newtown, PA, and was a great success. The physicians provided
general medical care to over 2500 patients over a 9 day period.
The patients were of all ages and were appreciative of the
care and medicines they 
received
from the team. The doctors visited many villages in the northern
region of the Dominican including Monte Llano, Cabarete, and
Puerta Plata. Their clinics took place in churches, schools,
firehouses, and even in the streets of the villages.
Taking
part in such an amazing mission was a gift not only for the people
of the Dominican, but also for the physicians themselves. The
work was rewarding and the patients extremely grateful for all
they received. Working with those less fortunate has given all
of the physicians a deeper sense of who they are and reaffirmed
their calling to the medical profession. The physicians are thankful
to have been asked to participate in this great mission. The
generosity and hospitality of the Dominicans was heartwarming
and appreciated by the entire medical team.
The
physicians are looking forward to making this mission a yearly
event. The team is also currently raising money to build a
house for a family with 12 children who are not fortunate enough
to have a safe place to call home. The physicians and entire
medical team appreciate any support that is offered from the
community. Donations of money, clothing, food, medical supplies,
or household items can be made at the Center for Women’s
Health. The team is also looking for anyone interested in participating
in next year’s mission to join on and help make it even
bigger and better than this year! Please ask anyone at the
Center for Women’s Health for more information.
