---

Departure: Dr. Bill Hanlon, Lucy Hanlon & Dr. Andrea Wilk. Missing from photo: Malgorzata Sczcypka.

Dr. Hanlon and Dr. Wilk were readers at Sunday mass. Following mass the team was treated to a wonderful afternoon at YS Falls.

Day 1: 30 patients were seen with low back pain, ankle sprains, carpal tunnel and everything in between. The team was incredibly thankful to be able to serve so many wonderful people. The team received a warm welcome to start the day.

Day 2 in the clinic. 

The team treated approx. 30 patients for status post CVA, pediatric clavicle fracture, back/hip pain, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, hip fracture, IT Band Syndrome, knee pain and so much more! Patients were provided with quad canes, reachers, dressing sticks, knee and wrist braces and thumb splints and provided exercises to complete at home. 

The team was again blessed with so many wonderful patient encou

The team cannot thank those at home enough for the continued love and prayers everyone has offered. We can feel them. 

Day 3 of the clinic is complete!! 

Today we, again, saw approximately 30 patients! The team saw patients ranging from wound care (the team eventually referred out to a local hospital), postpartum mothers with back and abdominal wall pain (the team loved getting to hold their little ones!), wrist and ankle sprains, sciatica, cervical pain, and so much more!  The team has laughed with patients and prayed over them in their time of gr

It has been an absolute joy for the team to serve this community and be treated like part of the family. The team's last clinical day will be Thursday before the team returns home on Friday.

Day 4 (and the final clinical day) is complete!  The team could not be more exhausted, but truly so filled with the spirit of these amazing people.

Here is today’s recap: 

The team completed a home visit with a woman who recently had a stroke and provided the family with supplies, education, and our prayers. The team was able to have the women sit at the edge of the bed for the first time since her stroke with the support of 3 caregivers! 

The team celebrated the last day with Mass and Dr. Hanlon completed the first reading.

The team was able to help the after- school children with math and spelling problems. They were very excited to see the team and to get to know them. The photo pictured is their library and playground at the mission site.   

The last picture is of a woman who hasn't stood upright in a year prior to this moment!

Again, thank you to everyone for your love and support as it made this incredible trip po
