As part of her duties, she will work in the missionary clinic that has recently been established in the village.

Upon her arrival, Jenny found that she would be spending most of her time in the clinic since the village had been without routine medical care for the past 2 years. Gradually, she found that she was beginning to call upon her training (both clinical and classroom) and she felt comfortable diagnosing and treating some of the more routine cases.

"Healthcare workers are scared, but we show up to work every single day," Hogan said. Wearing masks, she said, “is a very small thing to ask." Hogan administers anesthesia to patients in the operating room, and her husband is a healthcare worker as well.
