Previous Trips
Here you’ll find some information on our past trips! You’ll find the person’s name that helped us along with the number of years they have served and their role during the trip. You’ll also find the approximate value of the care we rendered used the very conservative Texas Medicaid rates. Private insurance would approximately double the value.
