Merida, Mexico ~ June 2011

 

This June, Dr. Stieg was part of the tenth anniversary SHARES mission trip to Merida, Mexico.   78 patients were seen and 49 were operated on, receiving a total of 68 procedures.  Diane from our office was also part of the team, as was Dr. Stieg's daughter, Gretchen, a medical student at the University of Cincinnati.

This was Dr. Stieg's 26th mission trip. A team of 19 from Florida Hospital spent a week in the capital city of the Yucatan working with colleagues from Mexico working in the brand new outpatient facility at Hospital General O'Horan, which also houses the new multidisciplinary Cleft Clinic.

Five week old Angel DeJesus, 5 month old with a complete left cleft lip and palate; and post-operatively with Gretchen.
