October 2011 Group

Mission Emanuel welcomed a group from all over the U.S. that included a dentist, dental hygienist, dental assistant, and 4 physical therapist. They did excellent work with the community!

Mission Emanuel Medical Center

The new Medical Center was finished in June of 2009 to continue the work of pediatric consults, dental work and physical therapy. In 2010, an additional ministry, the Community Health Program began and in June of 2011 the ADR Early Intervention Program started.

Community Wide Trash Clean-Up

In March of 2010, the Community Health Program spent time cleaning up trash in the community to prevent the spread of Dengue and Malaria. Mosquitos lay their eggs in any small amount of water, which can include discarded tires, bottle caps, empty cans, etc.

Rehabilitation Center Dedication

In October of 2009, Anna Harper, a PT from Dallas, TX was present to dedicate the culmination of three years of work gathering funds and donations to complete the Rehabilitation Center at Mission Emanuel. Our therapy program benefits children with special needs.

Dental Trips

Each year Mission Emanuel hosts 1 to 2 dental trips. Doctors spend time working with the community – many of which have never been to a dentist before in their life.

Tetanus Vaccination Campaign

Every year the Dominican Republic along with many other Latin American countries participate in La Semana de Las Americas, a vaccination campaign to eliminate preventable childhood illnesses. This year the focus is on tetanus and polio.
