Denver Christian Docs

The Denver Area Adventist hospitals (Porter, Littleton, Avista, Parker) have a medical missions focus. There will be a new Senior Vice President of Missions soon. There are community health teams, teams going to Rwanda, Peru, Nepal, Belize. Here is a link to find out more...


I just got back from a trip to Juarez, Mexico. We took 3 OB-GYN's, two cytotechs, three nurses, and a pathologist, along with two interpreters. The interpreters came from an insurance company here in Denver. We ended up seeing more than 170 patients in two days, doing 52 stat pap smears (in less than 30 minute turnaround time!) resulting in three Cryo/Colpo procedures. Many women wanted ultrasounds for their babies. We had a great time and will plan more trips down to Missions Ministries in the future. The clinic was excellent, the food and rooms good, the church service at the end quite moving. One of the OB-GYN's, probably a Calvinist, told me that the trip was too nice, the clinic too well set up, the food too good, to really qualify as a "Mission Trip." I guess he wanted more suffering?

Short term medical missions can dramatically deepen your faith. Christian Medical/Dental Associations also have some missions trips available.

Take the plunge...
