Mindy Bowen




Mindy is a Post-op Recovery nurse at the Universityof Iowa Hospitals and Clinics , but on this mission she worked on the Pediatric floor in post-op. She was recruited by Pat Wehrle 4 years ago to be a part of this mission, and knew instantly she wanted to be a part of this team. The best part of the trip for Minday is seeing how grateful the parents are for all that has been done for their children. In America, Minday notes, we expect our children to receive palate treatment, but in Guatemala the parents hope that something will be done. Mindy also is touched by the loving chidren, who are happy despite their troubles speaking and eating because of the cleft lips and palates.
