Caribbean Medical Mission Joins OSHAG/C in Guyana

Nineteen colleagues in Medicine, like Dr. Berman Saunders of the Caribbean Medical Mission of New Jersey, will travel to Guyana in October with members of OSHAG/C to provide free surgery; medical care and treatment for patients in Berbice County.

OSHAG/C President & CEO, Carol Bagot, is dedicated to the group's unwavering commitment of being a catalyst to bring better, improved cancer and other medical care to patients in Guyana and the Caribbean region. She credits the Guyana Ministry of Health for its support that makes the upcoming trip possible.

OSHAG/C seeks to educate its community and raise funds for continuing research to find a cure for cancer and for comprehensive and cost effective care that will benefit patients in the Diaspora. Cancer has plagued the Caribbean community for many years, but the lack of resources makes it increasingly difficult for patients to access medical care in the region.

In preparation for the trip, OSHAG/C will host a Brunch and Dutch-Auction event from which the proceeds will directly go to support the upcoming trip. The event will be held on Sunday, September 14 from 2:00 P.M to 6:00 P.M at the Anne Blue Convention Center at 4710 Church Avenue, Brooklyn, NY, between East 48th St. & Schenectady Avenue.

For more information and tickets to support OSHAG/C and this event, contact Lorna Welshman-Neblett at 646-522-8005, Cleveland John at 646-872-6074, or Barbara Chase at 718-288-2060.
