Florida Hospital Flagler Sponsors Local Church’s Mission Trip to Costa Rica

July 28, 2011 - PRLog -- PALM COAST – Florida Hospital Flagler has donated $500 worth of medical supplies to Epic Church, 1 Pine Lakes Pkwy North, Palm Coast, as the church embarks on a mission trip to San Jose, Costa Rica, from July 23 to July 30.

“Thirty percent of all 911 calls go unanswered in Costa Rica,” said medical coordinator Ryan Centofanti. “With these supplies donated by Florida Hospital Flagler, we will be able to provide general first aid for the locals. Whatever we do not use, we will leave behind so that nothing goes to waste.”

While abroad, the church group will also build desks for local schools and host a vacation Bible school, as well as organize a soccer clinic for kids.
