2019 marks the 11th Pharmacy/Medical mission to Vietnam. What began as a modest annual mission, taking 4 students in 2012 and treating 1000 patients has grown to taking 6-12 students per year and treating approximately 5000 patients annually. We are forever grateful for the support from Dean Doukas, Faculty, Administration and Staff. We are especially grateful for the financial support of our loyal donors who continue to value our International altruistic activities!

Internet Back/ Pharmacy Mission set up
My apologies for not continuing to post sooner. Ben Tre has sketchy internet access, so today is the first time I can access the blog.
On 5-29-19, our team met our new Mercer colleagues and spent the day setting up for mission work in Ben Tre.
Thanks to our gracious supporters, donors, family and friends, we were able to purchase enough medications, supplies and medical equipment for this 4 week journey. In the 108 degree real feel weather of Ben Tre, it did not take long to realize what kind of mission rotation this is. Fatigue, sweat, aches, pains etc.... I continue to tell our students that the rewards we will get from out thankful patients will provide enough energy to last the entire mission. We were able to safely transport all medications and supplies and prep for 2-3 days of clinic in advance.
