She is a technologist who specializes in vascular ultrasound who helped the doctors with the procedures. Q: Did anyone else from Sound Vascular or NW Vein Center go with you?Ī: This year, Julie Guide, RVT from Pacific Vascular joined me. Gregory reflects on his trip and the opportunity he had to provide medical care to people in need. While some volunteers struggled initially with the hands-on nature of the medical treatments, by the end of the week everyone felt empowered to make a difference in the lives of the Honduran patients. Gregory was impressed by the willingness of those with no medical experience to roll up their sleeves and contribute to the healing of the people who visited the clinics. While the conditions in La Cieba were a far cry from the vascular clinics in the United States, for the Honduran patients it was the best and only option to treat their illnesses. Some individuals with advanced vascular disease traveled all day by foot and bus in hopes of care. Because of limited medical resources and a lack of sanitary conditions, many issues that could have been prevented with early treatment, had been left to develop and worsen over many years, such as leg ulcers and other advanced problems.ĭr. Gregory and other doctors, nurses and volunteers set up treatment areas that allowed them to take care of hundreds of patients in the course of a week. Gregory took a short break from his regular practice at Sound Vascular and traveled to La Cieba, a small city in the jungle along the northern coast of Honduras. Gregory, nurses and other volunteers have the unique opportunity to give medical treatment to people in need.
Organized by the Hackett Hemwall Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing medical care to people around the world, doctors like Dr. Gregory has participated in a service mission trip to Honduras, and this year he was thrilled to be accompanied by his 12 year old daughter, Olivia.
