Join Nutrition preceptors and students, in partnership with SIMS, as we travel to serve the children and staff of Pan American Health Services (PAHS), a nutritional rehabilitation center for children under 5 years of age located in the mountains of North Central Honduras. For more than 10 years, SIMS has been taking trips to PAHS, participating in the ongoing projects and activities of the rehabilitation center and outpatient clinic. SIMS teams have provided medical and dental clinics for the PAHS community, mobile clinics to rural villages, public health education and nutrition programs, child therapy programs, and more. Students, most importantly, spend time caring for, playing with, and loving the PAHS children.
