Mission Trip St. Louis Missouri 2025

On May 7th and 8th, representatives from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine and the Hispanic International Mission (HIM) attended the Mega
Health Clinic medical and dental in partnership with Pathway to Health 2025! The mega health mission in St. Louis, Missouri, provided healthcare to over 6000 patients and free dental services to 1040 patients in need. Dental services included: restorative, oral surgery, endodontics, hygiene and radiology.

It was a meaningful and rewarding experience where our team provided free dental care to underserved communities. Beyond the dental work, it was incredibly fulfilling to connect with the local community and work alongside
dedicated volunteers. The trip reinforced the importance of our mission that is compassion, service, and using our skills to make a difference.
