These two patients Alan and Kresley touched our hearts! They have both been seen by the Iowa MOST team in previous years. Alan had a palate revision this year following a lip and palate repair in prior years. Kresley’s lip was repaired during this visit and her palate was repaired last year. Such “return visits” are not uncommon for continuity of care. The Iowa MOST team is in its 9th consecutive year of missions to Huehuetenango and Xela, Guatemala. Most patients are indigenous Mayans and come from villages in the western highlands and would not otherwise have access to care.
