Mary Morvant O’Neill passed away on July 16, 2024. Mary was one of the few original members of the New Orleans Medical Mission Services, working with our founders in 2001. She attended more that 25 missions with NOMMS, and served as a regular volunteer at NOMMS when not traveling to Central or South America. Mary was a Registered Nurse who worked for many years at West Jefferson Hospital, the Women’s Medical Center, Zoller and Lupin Group. She also worked at Ochsner Main Campus Labor and Delivery from 1995 to 1999 and East Jefferson Hospital from 1999 to 2012 as an Operating Room nurse; she was one of the first Robotic Surgery Coordinators.
She fought her 12 year fight with Mesothelioma like a warrior. She even did medical trials without knowing if it would help her, but she knew something could be learned from the experience that could help others down the line. She was an active member of St. Rita Catholic Church in Harahan since 1996.

Another great mission is in the books. This Mission took over 60 doctors, nurses, and staff to Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. We did 70 procedures and saw over 2,000 people in the eyeglass clinic. It was our first mission to have a complete anesthesia team where we did not have to depend on local anesthesiologists for any room. Hospital Ricardo Limardo said it was the most successful mission ever in that location.
“Deliver medical relief and expertise to the underprivileged population of the world, and respond to local needs, through services, treatment, and supplies, in a manner that respects the dignity and self-esteem of program recipients and volunteers.”
