We celebrate Dr. Joice Morillo joining the One World Surgery team as our Medical Director in the Dominican Republic!

Dr. Joice grew up in a small village outside the city of San Juan de la Maguana on the Dominican's western region. At 15 years of age she began studying health care by earning a distinction in nursing during high school. In 2010, she moved to the capital because where studied medicine at the Autonomous University of Santo Domingo.


After graduating Magna Cum Laude and completing a service year in rural primary care, she was selected to be a resident physician in orthopedic surgery at the Dario Contreras Hospital, the principal public trauma hospital in the country. Dr. Joice and her two-year-old son Miguel will relocate to San Pedro de Macoris to live closer to the One World Surgery Surgical Center. 

Primary Care Expansion in Honduras is Complete

We are excited to announce the completion of our clinic expansion project in Honduras. This expansion provides much needed space and allows us to serve more patients.


The expansion, funded in part by Optum, includes 10 bays, a procedure room, PT area, point of care lab space, a fixed x-ray, sterile storage and office space. 


This new clinic space allows for incorporation of primary care consults, simultaneous overnight and clinic patients, and increased efficiency for providers


With construction now complete, we are in the process of outfitting the space and seeing patients as soon as possible.
