Memory Lane 2006 Mayo Clinic Plastic Surgery Team

I have so many wonderful memories of the years 1991 thru current time. Over the years SMART has brought many, many surgical teams to Honduras. Mayo Clinic Plastic Surgery group has joined us at least 30 times and each time has been a rewarding adventure.

It is seeing these kinds of patients helped, repaired, sent home happy and ready for a new life that makes me so happy to continue to do what I do. New teams are being scheduled for Honduras this year. Consider joining a team... it will change your life.
