• Guest Introduction:
What does it take to truly go the extra mile? Join me in the next episode as I discuss with Dr. Jeff Mapp how Extra Mile Pediatrics is transforming lives through sustainable care. We'll dive into their unique model of revisiting children in underserved communities every six months. A story of dedication, hope, and a promise kept.

Extra Mile Pediatrics is an NGO dedicated to providing repeated, quality pediatric healthcare to children in underserved communities in Guatemala and El Salvador. Their innovative approach to care focuses on sustainability and a holistic understanding of health. Instead of one-time medical missions, they build long-term relationships with the same communities, families, and local leaders. By returning every six months, they are able to track a child's growth and development over time, which is critical for identifying and treating foundational health issues. Their holistic model goes beyond the clinic by addressing critical factors like access to clean water, providing health and wellness education, and offering specialized services such as telehealth speech therapy. This commitment ensures that the positive health changes they create are not just temporary fixes, but a lasting foundation for a healthier future.
