A Local Mayaguez Highschool student, Emily Cesani, was inspired by what she saw and experienced at the Mayaguez IRT care site. She wanted to help by utilizing her ability to translate. Emily spent an entire day with the medical staff providing patient/provider communication.
Ola de Esperanza Sanadora (“Healing Wave of Hope”) is a medical IRT mission with over 510 military participants that provide health care at no-cost to patients during a two week medical exercise throughout six locations in Puerto Rico. Innovative Readiness Training (IRT) is a U.S. military training opportunity that provides real-life deployment training and readiness for military personnel while addressing public and civil-society needs. The military services have always brought to bear their resources to help meet some of the country’s civil needs. With IRT, the Department of Defense realizes simultaneous benefits from military training and readiness while providing quality services to our local communities.
