Associates of Jackson Healthcare:
I wanted to let you know about a significant event that occurred during the first week of December. Locumtenens.com, Jackson & Coker, Travel Nurse Solutions, and Jackson Therapy Partners joined together to sponsor Jackson Healthcare’s first ever medical brigade. Led and directed by Chad and Carlyn Jackson, a team of surgeons, anesthesiologists, and nurses traveled to Mission Predisan in Catacamas, Honduras to perform vital and life saving surgeries on people that would not otherwise be able to access this kind of care.
Many of the providers who went on the trip had done medical missions before and all of them said this was by far the best organized and most impressive operation they had seen. They all asked when they could come back. I also think this is also a wonderful testament to the quality of the providers that we support. We literally had hundreds of people who responded to our request to go on this trip. We have since had thousands more who have expressed interest in other medical mission work.
Based on the success of this trip, we plan on sponsoring at least two medical brigades in 2009. Thank you to all of you who worked on this one. If you have interest in helping with the trips next year, contact Chad or Carlyn.
In the middle of a week when we are getting the opportunity to support children from our community to experience Christmas, I hope you feel equally proud for the way you are supporting people thousands of miles away as we literally save their lives.
Shane Jackson
