We travel to the Border Clinic in Calexico and to the Hospital General de Mexicali several times each year for clinic days. On these dates, doctors and staff provide initial screenings and evaluations. Patients who need surgical care will receive treatment at the DTLA Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) and UCLA Medical Center - Santa Monica.
With support from our donors, the International Children's Program (ICP) covers all aspects of a child’s care, including all physician consultations, X-rays, lab tests, CT and MRI scans, surgeries, hospital stays, travel, food, and lodging. This multilevel of complex care is not possible without the support of the LuskinOIC community.
