Written by one of our volunteers - What to expect on a volunteer trip.
Aeromedicos is based in Santa Barbara, California. We fly to Mexico in a small private aircraft, typically leaving on a Friday and returning on Sunday. We have just established a monthly clinic in San Juanico, also known as Scorpion Bay, Baja Sur. It is on the Pacific side and is a well-known surf spot.
We prepare the clinic on the day we arrive, and on Saturday, our clinic hours are 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM. We typically see 20 -30 patients.
We stay in one of several small hotels, and there are lots of good restaurants.
We contribute to the pilot's fuel costs and pay for our hotel and some food. The average cost is about $400. Aeromedicos does offer some financial assistance if there is a need.
