Dr. Joseph Borreggine ,podiatric physician, who practices in East Central Illinois recently went to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic (DR) with his local church and participated in a week long medical mission. He treated many patients in the community medical clinic. Even though a majority of the patients were only needing treatment for foot mycosis and other minor foot problems they still appreciated his presence. Borreggine also performed a number minor podiatric surgical procedures to correct ingrown toenails. Borregine said, "That foot health in most third world nations, like in the Dominican, is ignored by most people." Borreggine went on to say, "Since podiatric medicine is a 'universal language' of sorts, our expertise can be utilized anywhere in the world always with the same result...relief!" This is the second trip for Borreggine in the last four years to the DR. He is looking forward to return there in the near future.
