Thank you for your interest in our mission trip to Ecuador. Bayside Medical Missions is a Christian organization. We follow Biblical principles for life and service. We seek to serve with love and compassion those God places in our reach to help improve their function and quality of life. Our surgical teams work with La Vida Clinic & Surgery Center in Portoviejo, Ecuador.
Ongoing contact throughout the year ensures great patient care post-operatively and beyond.
This orthopedic surgical trip, led by Dr. Dori Cage will concentrate on Orthopedic Surgeries of the Hands
YOUR TRIP COSTS:
Costs depend on your travel choices.
To complete the team we need:
Ecuador is beautiful. You may want to extend your trip to explore its wonders on the mainland or the Galapagos Islands.
You will arrange and pay for your travel to and from Manta, and La Vida Clinic will make all arrangements from there. From the moment you arrive in Manta to the time you depart from Manta, you will enjoy being part of & working together as a team. We will travel, have meals, and share a beach-front guesthouse. We'll participate in morning devotionals & meet for the day's plan before surgeries begin.
The needs of the people are significant. For many years, our teams and the work of La Vida staff have changed the lives of patients and families. The opportunity to show God's love and compassion is ongoing. We invite you to come and serve these wonderful people.
Our Mission:
Motivated by gratitude for Jesus Christ, His love, and saving Grace, we are dedicated to excellent surgial care, to demonstrate God's compassionate love for all people and with the hope that each person will come to know His Son Jesus as his personal Savior. Based on Luke 10-8:9
