Trip Homepage

Welcome to the homepage for the March 2010 Los Médicos Voladores trip. This is a collaboration of the Truckee and Reno chapters. We'll post here all manner of information related to our trip, in hopes of efficient organization, learning and ultimately delivery of good benefit to our patients.  We will travel to the village of Punta Abreojos, Baja Sur.  Any questions can be addressed to your trip coordinators, Wayne McClelland (High Sierra) and/or Hank Frohlich (Reno).

Our default schedule ('flexibility' is an LMV watchword):
  • Friday: depart Truckee (Sosnick plane), Reno/Stead (Barrett), and Minden (Hartz)
  • Friday afternoon: set up clinics
  • Saturday am to early evening: clinics
  • Sunday morning: clinic overflow as needed
  • Sunday mid-day: Sosnick/Barrett fly to San Francisquito; Hartz to ??
  • Sunday/Monday: R&R in S'quito
  • Monday: Hartz plane returns to Minden
  • Tuesday: Sosnick/Barrett planes return to Truckee/Reno

Looks like we could have a dynamite clinic to offer to the village:

  • dentistry
  • dental hygiene
  • optometry
  • chiropracty
