Dr. DeLaCruz Offers Free Medical Services in Dominican Republic*


Dr. Francisco DeLaCruz was recently able to return to the place of his birth, the Dominican Republic, to perform free medical services for many impoverished citizens in the area. This mission to the Dominican Republic is a dream that Dr. DeLaCruz had awaited for many years to become a reality.

Fran was able to accomplish this dream, due in part, to his USANA business. By August of 2005, he dropped his medical schedule down to a part-time status working just seventeen weeks a year. Soon after this, Fran discovered an organization called Children of the Nations that organized teams of medical professionals to offer free medical services in third world countries.

After learning that the Dominican Republic was on their list of countries to visit, Fran signed up for the next trip. Fran flew down with three other physicians and a crew of technicians. Fran explains, "It was everything I imagined it would be and more. We did thirty-one surgeries—burns, facial trauma, general surgery—and all the medical care was provided for free. There were people who walked thirty miles to get their surgical procedure done."

Fran encourages other network marketers to use their time freedom to seek out non-monetary rewards. "My dad came to the United States because of the opportunities. I'm glad that I can now take some of what we gained here back to my people in the Dominican Republic"
