He Found His Life’s Mission in Service to Others
It took just one mission trip to persuade pediatric dentist Doug Schildhaus that he needed to devote his life to providing compassionate care to Indigenous people of Peru. Twelve years later, he’s leading two mission trips a year as a member of Flying Doctors of America. The smiles, hugs and words of gratitude he receives from patients make his efforts worthwhile and the Long Island practitioner more appreciative of what he has at home and in his dental office, he says.
Learn more about Dr. Schildhaus and the volunteer work he’s doing in the December NYSDA News.
