Friends of Library Program: KENYA MEDICAL RELIEF MISSION

On Thursday, April 20, at 7 pm, at the Jackson Public Library, Dr. Lauren Frye and several other members of Memorial Hospital’s medical team who visited Kenya in December will share their experiences.  This trip was the fourth for Dr. Frye, but the first in which she was the lead.  The team of 25 included 13 Memorial Hospital providers and staff.  They spent 10 days at a clinic in Migori, Kenya providing a variety of care, primarily focused on women’s health and pediatrics, from physical examinations and surgeries to follow-up visits for care begun by previous medical teams.  The Migori clinic is sponsored by the group KenyaRelief.org.  This program is sponsored by the Friends of Jackson Public Library and is open to the public at no charge.
