Volunteer Medical Care In Developing Countries

Our Approach

We work with other non-profits to staff existing clinics that are often available to patients just a few weeks each year. Volunteers pay for their own travel then our organization covers all in country costs including transportation, lodging, food, translators and medicine. 

Our Mission

Our team collaborates with established organizations in the US and in developing countries to connect volunteer healthcare providers with underserved populations. We facilitate annual trips to Haiti to provide primary care services to communities that have limited access to medical care.
