A Legacy Remembered tells the story of the medical mission of the Presbyterian Church in the United States (PCUS) during a period of more than one hundred years (1881-1983) on three continents and in nine countries -- China, Korea, Belgian Congo (Zaire), Mexico, Brazil, Japan, Taiwan, Bangladesh, and Haiti. Working under often primitive conditions and dangerous circumstances, brave spirit-filled medical pioneers established hospitals, clinics, medical schools, and public health facilities. Through their efforts, lepers were healed, the blind regained sight, and the sick received proper medical care. More importantly, the dedicated men and women spread the gospel message of hope, trained national medical personnel, and uplifted the status of women.
