Prosthetic Clinic at Hospital Shalom

On August 2nd Brent Wright and Jim Glover of Beacon Prosthetics and Orthotics traveled to the Peten Region of Guatemala to work in a prosthetic clinic at Hospital Shalom. The region is vast, comprising nearly 45% of Guatemalas total landmass. The population in the Peten is nearly one million and it is the poorest of Guatemalas seven regions.
Samaritans Purse donated prosthetic components and Vine International shipped the items for the clinic in Hospital Shalom. Mr. Wright collected donations from his patients in Wilson and from other practices around the Country. Components from donated prostheses are used in the construction of new prostheses for the patients in Guatemala.
