Our April mission included IOWD “regulars”, Dr. Karolynn Echols, Dr. Briana Walton, Dr. Sharon Knight, Dr. Cynthia Hall, Dr. Roberta Blandon, Dr. Ralph Chesson, Dr. Scott Eder, Dr. Elizabeth Erekson, Dr. Fatai Ilupeju, Professor Janet Dewan, and Nurses, Evan Epper and Jacqueline Green.
New to this large group was Dr. Gina Sternschuss, Dr. Tyler Hartman, Dr. Stacey Knox; Nurses Anne Patrick and Barbara Nalley; Anesthesia Nurses, Heather Herbowy, David Dirito and Jessica Hartman and students Elly Dewan and Almog Cohen.
Based on a program that involves calling our patients who had been treated at the previous mission, we had over a 50% return of women for follow-up exams. The Rwandan medical students are doing a fabulous job contacting all of these patients and urging them to return, despite travels from long distances.
