Today was a busy day getting organized for the arrival of Dr. Karen McCarthy's medical team of 4 doctors and several nurses, pharmacist helpers and registration workers. We put a sign on the gate indicating which days the clinics would be held and people noticed it:)
By 1:00pm,when the team arrived they quickly unpacked and got to work seeing patients. Dr. Karen and her team are highly respected in the Delmas 31 community. Several people rely on her for their blood pressure and diabetes control. She comes to Haiti every 3 months and will give a patient with high blood pressure a 3 month supply. With these clinics there is follow-up during her next visit. Using her I-pad she enters the patients who need to be on medicines every day. We had a busy afternoon and the pharmacy was swamped keeping up with filling the prescriptions. The next clinic will be tomorrow morning and we will get an early start to the clinics at 7:30am. Pray for a successful week of clinics. We will be hosting clinics again tomorrow and Saturday morning. The other days will be held at another school. Pray for all those who will be helped and for strength, stamina and good health for the medical team. The medical team will be staying at Christian Light Ministries. It is great to see missions cooperate together to help serve the community. Pray that more missions in our community will also cooperate together in His service.
It is late, so I won't be posting any photos today, but tomorrow I will:)
Karen
