The Gomez Palacio Lions Club covers all of our transportation, food and lodging for the week. Doctors are only responsible for their airfare.
This is the 43rd mission to Gomez Palacio MX. We team up with the local Lions Club to serve the patients. Doctors need to bring basic equipment such as BIO, retniscope, trial lens kit. There is a slit lamp and auto-refractor at the Lions Club. Patient load is based on how many doctors we have.
Here’s a brief breakdown of the week:
Saturday- arrival day- we will land in Torreon fairly late but the Lions Club will feed us and check us in to the hotel.
Sunday- Mass at nearby church, lunch and set up the clinic then some sort of outing or watch the Super Bowl
