MISSION

Guatemala 2026

Highlights
Mission Goals

Team Michigan will head to Hospital Obras Sociales del Santo Hermano Pedro in Antigua, Guatemala in September for their seventh OI mission. The hospital has a long history of caring for Guatemala’s most vulnerable communities, inspired by the legacy of Hermano Pedro, a Franciscan who dedicated his life to serving the poor and sick. That spirit of compassion continues today.

Mission details

During our mission, we will provide free surgical care to patients who have traveled long distances and waited months, sometimes years, for treatment.

  • For a child born with a cleft lip, cleft palate, or other deformity, surgery can mean a smile, a chance to speak more clearly, and growing up with greater confidence and hope.
  • For patients with large goiters or urologic conditions such as enlarged prostate or prolapse, surgery can bring relief, comfort, dignity, and a better quality of life.
  • And for those facing breast cancer and other cancers, access to surgery can mean something even more precious—the possibility of more time with the people they love, more birthdays, family moments, and memories together.

For every patient, young or old, we hope to offer more than surgery. We hope to bring relief, dignity, and the possibility of a healthier and more hopeful future with their families.
