GHV Peru 2026
July 31, 2026
From June 12-26, a team of 39 volunteers and 2 GHM staff traveled to Chulucanas, Peru for a 15 day primary care mission. The team worked side by side with our in-country partners and community leaders to ensure care was given to the people of Peru.
Mission Highlights
This mission to Chulucanas was especially meaningful. Sister Mary Jo, RSM, joined the team as a volunteer and was honored by the diocese and local volunteers for her many years of dedicated service. During one ceremony, she was presented with a lit candle, symbolizing her legacy. She then passed the flame to GHM's new Executive Director, Marie Robson, signifying the continuation of GHM's mission in Chulucanas.
The medical team completed 1,152 patient visits, providing services that included laboratory testing, EKGs, physical therapy, ultrasounds, and minor procedures. A smaller group of providers and support volunteers also traveled into the Sierra region to continue bringing care to communities in the mountainous areas.
