Dr. Raul Cordon -- Co-coordinator

            Dr. Raul Cordon is chief surgeon of the hospital where we work and a specialist in therapeutic endoscopy.  As co-coordinator of this mission each year and a doctor on staff at the hospital, he has helped us to establish a very congenial relationship with hospital employees and administration.  The strong support he offers us has a great deal to do with the success of the Quetzaltenango mission.  He values Rotary, the organization that brought us together and is grateful for this opportunity to work with Iowa MOST every other year in Quetzaltenango.    

            Dr. Cordon offered an extra service this year when our team leader’s blood pressure shot up to an uncharacteristically high reading.  He called in a cardiologist, went into consultation with other doctors and prescribed medication.  Thank you, Dr. Cordon!
