One of them is Ho Thi Huong, a 41-year-old woman. Without the heart procedure, she would suffer a premature death. 

The other heart surgery patient is Phi Ho Kim Hue, a 3-year-old boy. He not only had  a cleft palate but also a heart problem. 

You are invited to join our partner Vets with a Mission on one of three medical mission teams to Vietnam in the spring of 2018. These trips include experiences to: 

1. Thua Thien Hue Province
2. Near Hue City
3. A Luoi Near the Laotian/Vietnam Border

 
​If you are a medical-health professional, your role will be hands-on with the patients. Physicians, Physician Assistant's and Nurse Practitioners all serve as patient examiners. Nurses serve in triage working up the patients, identifying their health issues before the patients are examined. If you are a dentist, you will be very busy! A Pharmacist is needed to supervise the VWAM pharmacy, a Physical Therapist would do PT, an Ophthalmologist/Optometrist would see eye patients, and so on. Each medical-health professional has an assigned interpreter. 

Those who are not medical-health professionals play an integral role on the team in either pharmacy, patient services, or security. There is an important role for each team member to play!
