History Mission Statement & Goals Bios
VIDAS conducted our first clinic in June of 2002. Six veterinary students and two veterinarians successfully sterilized 100 cats and dogs during 5 days in Playa del Carmen.
The severe need for organized help in the area was recognized by founding members Cristina Gutierrez, Ruth Parkin, Robyn Gadojsik and Ginny Gill and, with the invaluable help of mentor Dr. Lesli Hick, VIDAS was born.
We returned to the area in July and November of 2003, and May 2004 and have sterilized nearly 1000 animals in total in Akumal, Chemuyil, Playa del Carmen, Tulum, Puerto Morelos and Puerto Aventuras.
