Short Term Team from IPC Savannah

The past week we had the privilege of hosting a medical team from Independent Presbyterian Church in Savannah, Georgia. The team consisted of Frankie Daniell, Dr. Ryan Moody, MD (Internist and Pulmonologist), and Paul Carpenter (a pharmacist from St. Joseph's/Candler Hospital).

Monday through Wednesday the team held medical campaigns in Larco and Arevalo Church and at our new chapel in the neighborhood of Parque Industrial. Dr. Moody attended 15-25 patients each day with the assistance of Lora Karraker and Jose Salaverry who were our translators for the week. Paul Carpenter oversaw the distribution of free medications to each patient, as well as instructing them on the proper use of their current medications.

On Thursday and Friday, while Dr. Moody saw patients in the clinic, Frankie and Paul constructed a new roof for the stairwell and waiting room in the Consultorio Médico Pastoral. This was a much needed and appreciated improvement to our facilities as the current structure had been leaking!


Thank you IPC Savannah Team for all of your labors with us this week. We enjoyed your fellowship and encouragement and hope to have you back again next year!
