Medical Mission: Health Clinic Project in Orlando, Florida
This new project is a major step forward in supporting people in the Central Florida community
This Health Clinic was established to serve the community of Orlando, Florida, by providing comprehensive care to individuals without health insurance or with limited access to resources. Since its inception, Medical Missions Saving Lives has aimed at delivering healthcare solutions for underserved communities and for individuals who are limited in their access to quality health care.
In addition to healthcare services, the message of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ was shared through the counseling station, fulfilling the Great Commission and strengthening the mission of Iglesia Calvario: “La esperanza lo hace posible” (Hope Makes it Possible, in English). The event was supported by sponsors and volunteers, resulting in both physical and spiritual impact on the patients served.
Through the clinic, we provided pediatric care, including a mobile unit from Nemours Children’s Hospital that offered free vaccinations and school physical exams to pre-qualified uninsured children. Many children in Central Florida have been affected by their parents’ challenging situations due to everything from economic downturns to the COVID pandemic.
Other healthcare services provided included gynecology, family medicine, dental care, counseling, chaplaincy, and pharmacy services, with free medications previously authorized by medical providers. Patients requiring additional care received referrals to specialists and prescriptions for follow-up at community pharmacies.
