Julieta Gabiola, MD to receive ACP Award for Volunteerism 09.27.10

 

Dr. Julieta Gabiola is the recipient of the American College of Physicians (ACP) Northern California Chapter's Faculty Award for Volunteerism. The award will be formally presented at the November ACP Conference in San Francisco. This award is based in part on her dedicated work leading an annual Philippines Medical Mission.

This January Dr. Gabiola led a successful medical mission to Iloilo, Philippines, which was attended by the president of the Philippines and several cabinet members.  A group of 70 volunteers consisting of faculty physicians, community physicians, dentists, surgeons, and nurses from Stanford, Kaiser, Seton, and Mills Peninsula, served a village with a population of about 60,000 people and saw 4,700 underserved patients in three days. These patients did not have access to care. About 500 minor and major surgeries, 1,000 dental extractions, and 2,500 eye examinations and refractions were performed. Internist and pediatricians saw about 1,500 patients. Blood glucose and blood pressure screenings were also performed. In addition, an active educational program was implemented.  This active educational program has paved the way for a new research project focused on hypertension and diabetes prevention in the Philippines.  The project is slated to begin in November 2010.

Dr. Gabiola plans to make another trip to the Philippines in January 2011 for the next medical mission. If you are interested in participating in this mission, please feel free to contact her by email.
