Dr. Antonio Rosal Alvarez – Dedicated Presence


                There are many individuals who have participated multiple times in Iowa MOST missions and the endeavor is strengthened by this consistency.  There are three individuals who have participated in all seven missions – Head Medical Leader Dr. John Canady, Team Leader Gary Pacha and local Guatemalan dentist Dr. Antonio Rosal Alvarez.  Dr. Rosal’s dedication has lent solidarity and consistency to our Iowa MOST missions from year to year and we are grateful for his constancy. ( You have read about Dr. Rosal in the 2011 blog.)
 Dr. Rosal has a private practice in Guatemala City, but he also is called to a hospital and to clinics when there are patients who have suffered facial trauma to assist with special cases.  A new member of the Casa Colibri Clinic Board of Directors, he serves as the chief dentist during clinics there. 
Father of two sons and husband to a radiation oncologist, Dr. Rosal takes time from work and being with his family because he has that spirit all team members have of wanting to help others.  He has also enjoyed working with Dr. Canady who has who has been a generous and caring mentor.
