In January, 2017, Dr. Bruce Schnall, an ophthalmologist, led a medical team of twenty-eight volunteers to Guayaquil, Ecuador to help children born with strabismus. “Surgery to correct eye misalignment is a life altering event for these children and their families. I truly believe that we dramatically improved 124 lives on the Healing the Children New jersey medical mission,” said Dr. Schnall. The medical team was hosted by Hospital Leon Becerra and supported by Berkeley College and the Association of Surgical Technicians.
