Quarterback Drs.
The Dallas Cowboys have Tony Romo, The Patriots have Tom Brady and the New Orleans Saints have Drew Brees, all ready to take each team to the prized Superbowl. These quarterbacks are crucial to the success of their team. Three days a week, I Care San Antonio has players who make vital moves that help our patients win in life. Our volunteer doctors are the quarterbacks of our organization.

We now have two programs available for doctors to volunteer:
I Care Vision Center
Doctors are able to work a shift at the I Care Vision Center located at Haven for Hope. We have 8 fully equipped eye exam lanes, OCT, digital fundus camera, VF machines, 3 lasers, etc. to support your care. You select the day each month, we schedule the patients – it’s that simple!
At your Office
Doctors volunteer to see 2 to 10 patients at their office each month for an eye exam and glasses prescription. The charity patients are screened in our office first to qualify and then call your office and schedule an exam directly. If patients need continued care, you can treat them in your office or they can be referred back to I Care San Antonio. This way, you can volunteer and stay in your office seeing more of your current patients – perfect combo for the busy caring doctor!
International Mission Trips
Please support the ICSA Team as we head to Bolivia and Peru with Medical Ministry International.
This partnership is an opportunity to serve Jesus Christ by providing spiritual and physical health care in this world of need.

from the President's Desk
In 2011, ICARE moved forward into the world of information technology and installed a practice management system in the I Care Vision Clinic. Everyone was excited about this, because it meant patient data would be at staffs’ finger tips. In addition, it afforded I CARE the opportunity to schedule patients electronically, track their demographics, and give the volunteer doctors a report for their donated services.
As the electronic connectivity continues, telemedicine may be next venue – likely this would find a use in the mission field. Skype is familiar to everyone these days as a form of personal communication. In the future, mission work in remote areas will be aided by it and other technologies via telemedicine, at least as a diagnostic and teaching platform.
