2008 Medical Mission in Jamaica
June 15-22
Each
year, the Presbytery of St. Augustine (Presbyterian Church USA) hosts the
Mutual Mission Medical trip. The team will participate in our 18th
annual mission June 15-22, 2008. We will need 20-30 health
professionals to join this mission at the invitation of our partners in
Jamaica. We provide primary medical and dental care to adults and children
who might otherwise not have access to health care. We see over 2,000
patients on our week-long mission and distribute much needed medicine. We
refer to local hospitals those patients with conditions requiring surgical
or intensive work and treat a great deal of hypertension, asthma, diabetes
and other conditions.
For those of
you have participated in the past, we would love for you to join the team
again. Your place on the team is being held for you!
For those of
you new to the experience, we share the love of Christ by concrete action.
We always “get” much more than we give, in love and in friendship. The cost
of the trip is $975 per person: nurses, dental assistants, retired
physicians, and dentist frequently are underwritten by local churches. If
interested in attending, you should encourage your church to “adopt a
volunteer.”
Join us in
Jamaica! If you would like to participate, or for further information,
please contact Allyson Criminger Apunte at acriminger.apunte@staugpres.org
or 800-440-9477 x22. Because the time it takes to have you licensed to
practice in Jamaica, we will need your confirmed participation by March
1, 2008.
