Partnering with HeartFire Missions in Valladolid, Yucatán
Valladolid is a Mayan city located roughly 90 minutes by car from Cancun. It is home to Centro Medico San Lucas – a private hospital with four operating theatres and a thriving medical clinic that serves a large catchment area in the central Yucatán. Valladolid is known for its tourism – being centrally located to ancient Mayan ruins, hundreds of cenotés (underground lakes), and centuries-old churches.
Each morning will begin at 7am with breakfast, Bible study and worship with the entire team. At 8:30am we will begin serving – our surgical team entering the hospital to evaluate and treat patients in the clinic and perform surgery in the O.R. Our medical team will serve in nearby Mayan jungle villages as they hold much-needed medical and pharmaceutical clinics. Each evening, the team will reconvene for dinner - glorifying God for the events of the day. The team will also spend a limited amount of time getting to know the history and geography of the region – including visiting stunning local Mayan ruins as well as a local Cenoté.
Med students will have the opportunity to step out of their comfort zones - serving medically, speaking Spanish, praying with patients and their family members, sharing their faith, leading devotions, and leading worship.
