This team of US-based Filipino doctors and medical practitioners was headed by Dr. Ho from West Virginia. This Medical Mission activity was in coordination with the local doctors of our province, which ensured the conduct of the Medical Surgical Mission at the Calamba District Hospital.

There were some cases that needed minor and major operational procedures from the visiting doctors; these included the removal of cyst, Cheiloplasty, Cataract, Thyroidectomy, and Pterydium. Other medical cases which were also given due attention were Arthritis, Pneumonia, skin problems, and Urinary Tract Infection or UTI.
 
The medical mission was able to treat and accommodated more than 1,000 patients from Calamba and other neighboring municipalities. Aside from performing surgeries and other medical procedures, the West Virginia team also extended medical assistance by way of donating medical facilities and medicines for the said mission.
