Mission to Ghana: Doral Based Orthopod Shares His Story

As the Owner and Founder of Doral based
Badia Hand to Shoulder Center  and Co-founder of OrthoNOW Orthopedic Urgent Care Centers (locations in FL and GA), one would think
Alejandro Badia, MD, FACS would have plenty to do stateside. However, this very busy doctor still finds time for Mission work abroad. He shares the story of his March 
visit to Ghana in a
FloridaHealthIndustry.com post dated May 4, 2017.

"I think my mission report will perhaps remind our readers what medicine is all about: caring and giving service. I was proud to represent South Florida as a caring/skilled clinician abroad," states Dr. Badia.
