Our team returned from
Riobamba , Ecuador last night. It was an amazing week. We
operated in a military hospital in the city which was located high
up in the Andes.
We treated the needy who can't afford and otherwise would
not have received any medical care. This year we we had two general surgeons
and two ENT surgeons. We did a lot of clefts at various stages as we return to
this site annually.
Other surgeries performed were
septoplasties; tonsils & adenoids ( which enabled many
to breathe well again), gallbladders, undescended testies, hernia repairs,
insertion of PE tubes, tympanoplasties, just to name a few. It's amazing how
you can change someone's life in just a matter of minutes. 
Our team enjoyed wearing
your caps and on behalf of all I would like to thank you for your contribution.
Best Regards,
Beth Delaney MSN, RN-BC,
CAPA
