Meet Our Volunteers
To get a flavor of who we are, you should know that the most importantly that our volunteers are professionals truly dedicated to serving and making a difference in the lives of the impoverished. The sum of our parts includes internists, OB-GYNs, Ophthalmologists and Pediatricians, Nurses, Dentists, Nutritionists, Physical Therapists, teachers, engineers, accountants, event planners, operating room technicians, administrative assistants and a lawyer, among others. No matter your skill sets or background or even your commitment level, we can use your talents locally or on a medical mission.
The size of the team on each mission depends on the country we visit and the time we visit; the group number is on average 33, but it can drastically vacillate from 10 to 50 volunteers. For example, our medical mission to Jamaica in January usually draws a larger turn out of volunteers. Notwithstanding the size of the team, we are committed to seeing all patients.
