Central Texas Medical Center's Mission
Central Texas Medical Center has teamed up with Pan American Health Services, a non-profit organization dedicated to fighting malnutrition, to help impoverished people in Honduras.
In the last five years, CTMC has gone to Honduras seven times, and last year they helped over 1300 people in just four days.
The organization operates a nutritional rehabilitation center in the mountains of North Western Honduras in Peña Blanca. The center was started in 1965 by Texan Dr. Stephen Youngberg. Patients range in age from 18 months to adults.

CTMC’s most recent trip to Honduras put them in contact with thousands of patients; however, one child in particular made a lasting impression on the group and is still loved very deeply by Morris, CTMC Honduras mission trip director, and the volunteer staff.
