Mission Statement
Our purpose is to share God's Love and provide free health care and health education to the indigent people in a selected area of Honduras. Currently we treat patients from 14 selected surround villages near our clinic near Chapagua.

Our Philosophy
Health education is one of the most important jobs to be done on any mission. It is the cornerstone of our program and its effects will remain long after our presence and our pills are gone.

We are an ecumenical and inter-denominational team that provides humanitarian aid to the Honduran people in and around Chapagua.

Our MHS Organization insists upon honoring and respecting the people and culture of our host country where we are visitors.

Overview Of Mission Work
We believe that health education is the keystone in assisting our patients to understand some of their health problems. We are operating a partnership arrangement whereby one-third or more of out clinic workers are Hondurans who come to our clinic to assist in patient care. We utilize the villages' school teachers to instill this knowledge so that the people understand what they can do to improve their health and lives.

Our patient care accommodates acute and chronic health problems. We follow up on the chronic care patients (i.e. diabetes and hypertensive) and provide the appropriate Centros de Salud to be distributed until the next medical mission arrives. Otherwise, the medical teams are addressing the various health issues found in any "sick call" setting.

Critically ill patients are referred to the hospital or to another incoming mission team that has medical specialist who can attend to that patient's specific needs.

Most of our dental procedures have been extractions to eliminate both pain and infections. More recently, we have been able to treat decayed teeth with fillings.
