AMIGOS accomplishes these goals by embarking on several eye care missions to foreign countries each year. AMIGOS strives to provide a resource for continued care within the communities it serves. This plugs the patients into the existing health care system, and perpetuates a stronger health care program.
THE PATIENT ALWAYS COMES FIRST. Personal and group goals are always subject to this creed. Thus, AMIGOS maintains high ethical standards with regard to patient care.
