A Day in Community Health


“A day in the medic site is never the same but is always crazy. The students take blood pressure, pulses, blood sugar, and every other vital. We talk to the patients to understand their condition and develop relationships. My favorite patients are the kids because they are so full of life and patient with our attempts to speak Spanish. Whether we go to someone’s home to provide medical care or set up a clinic in the middle of a town, we always bond with the patients. 


Today, we saw into the life of a typical obgyn office. We felt a baby’s head and heard the heart beat. Fernando tells us the symptoms and explains what it means and how to treat it. While we’ve all learned so much about medicine, we have learned what it means to incorporate our faith into everything we do.”
