Rocky Vista University College of Osteopathic Medicine is working to not only change the lives of the medically underserved in the state of Colorado, it is also transforming the health of more than 900 people living in a country 2,000 miles away.
RVUCOM Community Medicine Chair Dr. Camille Bentley returned from her 14th medical outreach trip to Guatemala in January where she worked with healthcare providers, students and volunteers to help meet the medical needs of Mayan villagers living near Lake Atitlan.
The group of outreach volunteers came together for the 10-day trip though the efforts of Rocky Vista University College of Osteopathic Medicine, Nova Southeastern University College of Osteopathic Medicine and DO Care International NFP, a non-profit organization comprised of member volunteers who provide and support the delivery of needed health care to indigent and isolated people.
