LAREDO, Texas (KGNS) – Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Laredo has kicked off a week-long event to offer free health services to the community. Now in its 13th year, the event welcomes back the Medical Missionaries of Divine Mercy, who have helped more than 12,000 people in Laredo in recent years.
This year’s mission provides basic health screenings, dental care, vision screenings, flu shots and spiritual support.
“We offer triage, a quick medical vital check,” said Rebecca Soloa, executive director of Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Laredo. “We have three doctors here, we have dental care, they do dental checkups, we have vision care, we have flu shots and we also have spiritual care.”
The event runs through November 8 at the San Luis Rey Church Hall, located at 3502 Sanders Avenue.
