Annual Medical Mission brings care and compassion to Bridgeport
Fifteen years of service, powered by hundreds of volunteers and a shared commitment to community.
Hundreds of volunteers came together in Bridgeport for St. Vincent’s Medical Center’s 15th annual Medical Mission, providing free medical services, health screenings, essential items and support to community members in need.
Held for the first time at Warren Harding High School, the event moved from its longtime home at Cesar A. Batalla School to accommodate its continued growth
The impact of this year's mission was extraordinary. More than 550 volunteers came together to serve hundreds of adults and children, providing medical and mental health assessments, vaccinations, prescriptions, health screenings and connections to care. Volunteers also distributed 627 coats, 760 pairs of shoes and boots, and 152 pairs of eyeglasses. In all, 960 meals were served to volunteers and community members.
