The mission returns!

Hello friends, family, and visitors! As you all know the Minnesota team's Healing Hands for Haiti trip set for January 16th was canceled due to the tragic earthquake that struck Haiti on January 12, 2010. At the time of the earthquake the need for medical and emergency personnel was urgent, which led our team to postpone and wait for the next opportunity to aid this country. With three months having past since the earthquake the country is now in need of support to help rehabilitate their citizens, and provide orthotics, prosthetics, and support to the country where it is needed. We have rescheduled our trip for April 15th-April 26th. We have a variety of professionals going along on this trip including medical doctors, orthotists, prosthetists, OTs, PTs, and support staff. We are currently awaiting our assignments while we are down there so stay tuned for updates on what we will be doing while we are there. Thank you all for your continuing support!
