'For I will restore health to you and heal you of your wounds,' says the Lord'

Jeremiah 3~:17

Overview

Founded in 1989, by a small group of private physicians practicing in downtown San Antonio, Texas. The missionary team is comprised of physicians, dentists, nurses, pharmacists, lab technicians, psychologists, ancillary staff, and health career students, that join together in the mission to provide free medical services to the underserved, impoverished communities of Oaxaca, Mexico and the surrounding region. All members are volunteers and fund their own participation every year.

General

The group dispenses the dollar equivalent of approximately $300,000 in medical, dental, surgical, and ophthalmologic care in the form of medical and dental consultations, prescription medications, corrective eye lenses, cataract surgeries, and occasional elective surgical procedures. The team works in collaboration with 7 of Oaxaca city's established city and state health department offices and their staff. Educational activities are also a component of the trip; Quijote specialty physicians spend time at the local medical school sharing their expertise via lectures and clinical demonstrations. Local medical, dental, and
nursing students spend the week alongside Quijote staff providing care for the patients. Prescribed meds are bought "at cost" and comprise the largest budget item each year. All supplies, meds, equipment, etc. are donated and/or paid for by donations.
