TAMPA – The Tampa Bay Buccaneers recognized Dr. Rainer Chan as a Goal Getter during the Aug. 24 game for his dedication to medical mission work that brings hope and healing to underserved communities around the world.
Dr. Chan most recently joined a team of AdventHealth clinical and non-clinical members on a mission trip to the Galápagos Islands, where they cared for more than 1,000 patients ranging from infants to seniors.
“I love going on these mission trips, not only to provide service and helping others but seeing how things are done in other countries teaches me a lot as well,” said Chan, who serves as chief medical officer for AdventHealth Riverview. “So it goes both ways, where we are out there helping them, but they are also helping us.”
Through global missions, AdventHealth team members provide important health care services, supplies and education in communities with limited access to care, working to fulfill the organization’s mission of “extending the healing ministry of Christ.”
