ASU, Mesa Rotary volunteers spread gift of hearing

Volunteers with the Mesa Baseline Rotary Club’s “Help Me to Hear” program recently examined and treated hundreds of patients of all ages in Guaymas, Mexico, a sister city of Mesa.

Each year, the program brings audiologists, physicians and other volunteers, including representatives from Arizona State University, to the Mexican city to provide ear, nose and throat examinations. The Rotary has been organizing teams to conduct these medical missions to Sonoran cities since 1992. The team treats children, senior citizens and anyone else who needs to have their hearing tested or see an ear, nose and throat specialist.

For children who need surgery, the Rotary Club will try to get them temporary visas to come across the border for treatment.
