Medical Mission Trip - Jamaica May 2003
17 health professionals including, five physicians, a nutritionist, an office manager, and ten podiatric medical students, traveled from South Florida to Jamaica to conduct a medical mission to one of the most impoverished areas of the continent.
The trip was coordinated by the Barry University chapter of the Student National Podiatric Medical Association (SNPMA).
While in Jamaica for nine days, the group provided humanitarian healthcare and medications to the underserved populations in makeshift clinics in the towns of Linstead, Ewarton, Treachway, Lluisdasvale, Boscobel, Highgate, and Kingston. All of the students and physicians sacrificed their time and paid their own expenses in order to make this mission trip a reality. The patients ranged from newborns to geriatric populations. Ailments such as diabetes, hypertension, severe malnutrition, poor hygiene, extreme poverty, respiratory, gastrointestinal disorders and sexually transmitted diseases were just some of the major health care issues addressed.
Over 1100 people were seen. Among the professions represented were specialties in the field of family medicine, pediatrics, podiatric medicine, and nutrition. Dr. Clifford G. O’Connor was Medical Team Leader and Advisor to the SNPMA organization as well as Clinical Professor from Barry. To show appreciation, the Minister of Transport and Work, the host physician and members of the Jamaican Parliament hosted an appreciation dinner at the Eden Rock Establishment in Kingston, Jamaica, where all of the mission team members received certificates of appreciation and several gifts.

November 2011
Hospital - Ramon de Lara Fuerza Aerea Dominicana, San Isidro
Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic
25 patients were seen and underwent surgery to correct old non-healing fractures, acute fractures, pseudoarthrosis of the tibia and foot and leg deformities.
All patients were disabled to the point of not being able to ambulate or be a productive member of society without corrective surgery.
The hospital was generous enough to provide power instruments and autoclave for sterilization. All other supplies were brought with us from donations to the Steps of Life Foundation, Inc.
After the last surgery was performed, all extra supplies were donated to the host hospital.
