St. Francis Medical Mission
Team Goals:
The goal of our medical missionary team is to provide health care services to poverty stricken families in Mexico and in Central/South American countries. The villagers are farm laborers and earn meager wages for a day’s work. Due to the remoteness and isolation, along with the lack of availability of health care services, this has created dire hardship for the people in these areas.
We travel yearly with medicines, doctors, dentists, nurses, pharmacists, chiropractors, acupuncturists, physical therapists, interpreters, and medical support staff. The trips are approximately a week in length and involve setting up clinics in remote areas and ministering to small communities. A typical mission will see 2000-3000 adults and children over 5 days. Some of these patients will travel for hours to stand in line to receive medical attention.
Many of these children that have never seen a doctor or dentist in their lives.
