Patients line up to receive care in La Sabana, the most remote community served by Floating Doctors. Volunteers travelled there by boat, bus, and a three-hour hike.

KK: If you had a dream for how this story would end for Floating Doctors, what would be your hope for this program?

RM: That it wouldn’t end.

BL: Or I guess that it would end only when it was no longer needed.
