Dr. Carl Sakovits of Bristol County Eye Care recently returned from Churuquita, Panama where he lead the 33rd mission of 61 medical volunteers. The team provided eye care and glasses, dental care, audiology and hearing aids, and general medical care for almost 3,000 needy Panamanians. “After a four year pause in our missionary work due to COVID, it was so good to get back to the work we love so much”, says Dr. Sakovits.
The group will be returning to Panama again in January 2025 and is in need of donated used eyewear in good condition. Glasses can be dropped off anytime year round at our office located within the Bristol County Medical Center.
