Trudy Wright, Recovery Nurse

Trudy Wright is one of the 2 recovery nurses that are a part of MOST. This is her first year on this mission. Trudy is actually a cardiac recovery nurse at Mercy Hospital in Iowa City, and general recovery is not her speciality. Hence she thought her skills were not needed. But in fact Trudy was "recruited" by Pete Wallace, one of the pediatricians of the group. Her children have gone on missions before, and she so wanted to be a part of one. For Trudy, the most rewarding part of this trip is her chance to see the success of the surgeries, and be able to see the joy in the parents faces when they are reunited with their little ones.
