COLLEGE STATION, Texas (KBTX) -A team of ten medical professionals from Central Texas Sinus & Allergy left the Brazos Valley bright and early Saturday morning to make the nearly 1,400-mile journey to Dolores Hidalgo-Guanajuato Mexico.
Saturday’s trip will kick off a week-long mission trip that will focus on children that suffer from medical conditions revolving around tonsils, adenoids, and other ear, nose, and throat problems.
The team will work in Mexico for a week and return to the Brazos Valley next Sunday.
Dr. Thomas A. Salzer, an Ear, Nose, and Throat specialist says he and his team are passionate about helping others. This is the group’s first trip since the start of the pandemic. Salzer says he’s looking forward to seeing the smile on the children’s faces after they get the care and attention they need. This is not the first trip to the Dolores Hidalgo region for Dr. Salzar and his team.
”We went down there and realized that there are no otolaryngologists there, there’s no ENT service there. Some of these families especially in the small ranches would have to travel three hours to Leon maybe in order to get specialty care and then it would be a low priority,” said Salzar.
Salzer says the care being provided to the children in Mexico is free of charge. He says with donations of supplies and staff volunteering their time and service, the group is able to treat a child for around $50.
