Becky Werner and her sister, Lynda Moss, are on their way this morning to a rural Mississippi hospital to provide medical care for the Hurricane Katrina victims who most desperately need it.
Werner, who lives in Lodi, and Moss, who lives part of the time in Acampo, are nurses who will volunteer their skills to sick and injured Mississippi residents and give nurses there long-overdue rest.
But what the team of 22 nurses from throughout California will experience is quite a mystery. They will work for the next two weeks at Stone County Hospital in the town of Wiggins, Miss., about 40 miles north of Biloxi and Gulfport, which received some of the most severe hurricane damage.
