Are you ready to give of your time and talents?
Healthcare professionals of all areas and skill levels are needed. Professionals with experience in such fields as medicine, pharmacy, mental health/counseling, public health education, dentistry, and optometry would be valuable team members. These trips are also great experience for students of healthcare professions.
Skilled construction workers, general contractors, and handy people who can figure out how to fix things are often needed, as well.
A number of support personnel are also needed for each team. These people perform basic tasks such as assisting with patient registration, record administration, equipment cleaning, and other general tasks. Some training is provided by the nurses. Support personnel may also be requested to present in the public schools.
Full Service trips, which include the medical camp, typically occur over the winter months. As needed, an additional trip for construction may happen in late spring or summer. Please contact us for upcoming dates.
