Glen Dale Couple On a Mission
An average of 30 doctors and nurses, headed by Dr. Vic Chin of Glen Dale and his wife, goes to their home country every year for a medical mission. The group performs goiter removal, cleft lip repair and Lasik surgery in the Philippines with assistance from the Catholic Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston, the local Filipino-American Association of the Tri-State and the Filipino-American Doctors Association, a group of Filipino doctors from around the Mountain State.
Dr. Dale said to start this project since 1983. They found it more relaxing than tiring to help their fellow Filipinos.
