Medical MissionsValdez Charitable Foundation in partnership with Pangasinan Provincial Office and its volunteers conduct medical missions in places struck with poverty including regions in the Philippines and India . The goal is to provide access to medical, dental and minor surgical services to underserved areas.
VCF Medical missions have occurred in 2011, 2014, 2016, 2018, with the forthcoming mission to take place in 2020. Many patients who benefit from these missions have expressed that this was their first experience receiving medical, vision or dental care. The most overwhelming medical cases represented are hypertension, diabetes, and high cholesterol. With a team of over 50 volunteer medical, dental, and vision care providers as well as registered nurses, public health professionals and spiritual and community leaders, VCF conducts screenings and examinations, distributes vital medications, and prepares and provides comprehensive meal and care packages to sustain various communities in need. |
