Los Médicos Voladores (LMV) -- in Spanish, the flying doctors -- is a volunteer-based nonprofit organization that aims to improve the health and well-being of geographically diverse peoples through education and the provision of no-cost, high-quality medical, dental, and optometric clinics. LMV serves Mexico, Central and South America, and migrant labor populations of the southwestern United States. Since 1975 LMV has offered more than 230 short-term medical, dental, optometry, and other healthcare clinics, treating over 7,000 patients per year. The LMV Experience

Trip to San Ignacio, Sep 2009

LMV conducted a dental clinic in San Ignacio, Baja California Sur, an area that only a week before was inundated with water and mud from Hurricane Jimena. Forty-four very appreciative patients were served in the well-equipped and well-staffed Deborah Wayne Clinic. We also carried hurricane relief supplies.
