This week the clinic is honored to host a large medical team who are associated with Johns Hopkins University and the Mercy Medical Mission. Lead by Dr./Sr. Karen Schneider, a pediatrician at Johns Hopkins University Hospital and a Sister of Mercy, the group will be focusing on the children that live in the region served by Visitation Clinic. They arrived late Sunday afternoon and wasted no time getting to work. On Monday evening Dr. Karen sent us this email.
"Today we went to C.E.S.A and saw 740 primary school children. We found 20 who need surgery that we can do this week and the teachers are trying to get the message to the families. We found 2 with bad hearts and 1 who has knocked knees and needs orthopedic surgery. Dr JF told me about 5 other children with heart problems and I am working on getting them to USA for surgery."
