Medical Missions Provide Critical Access To Care That Most Rural Communities Lack.
Short-term medical missions provide critical solutions for today’s healthcare needs in historically marginalized and underserved communities like Purulhá. However, these remote areas lack medical infrastructure creating a barrier to service and jeopardizing continuity of care.
While we work on creating long-term solutions for medical mission service by building a healthcare facility that will provide a reliable community resource for care, we realize that communities need healthcare now.
By joining one of our medical mission teams you are not only bringing health and hope to these communities, you are creating lasting impact and change.
