February
The February 2010 medical team has returned safely to the United States. Nine people not on the EFM staff participated in the team effort. William Baker R.N., Mary Baker R.N., Joseph Baker R.N., Sarah Baker R.N., Gracie Betts R.N., David Boardman D.O., Joshua Boardman, Sandra Campbell L.P.N., Stephanie Smith R.N. Myself (Donald Smith M.D.), Daniel Melton and Tiffany Melton (current missionaries in San Luis, Honduras) participated on the team as well. Our local nurse and national clinic manager, Miriam Rapalo R.N. and local preachers went each day to help. The team arrived on Saturday February 20th and the first clinic day was February 22. Each day (Monday through Thursday) we went to different churches and communities with the team. We saw several hundred patients and gave out medications, vitamins, parasite medication, toothbrushes and toothpaste. On Friday we returned to the city of San Pedro Sula so we could leave from the airport on Sunday. The trip was a great success. A big thank you to all the people who went.
