Medical Missionaries
Medical Missionaries is a volunteer group of more than 200 doctors, nurses, dentists, and others who work to improve the health of the poor in the U.S. and throughout the world. We provide medical care and medical supplies, clothing and food to the areas we serve. One area of focus has been along the Haiti-Dominican Republic border. We built and support a clinic (hospital) in Thomassique, Haiti. Volunteer medical and surgical teams make numerous trips during the course of a year to provide medical care. We also have programs to provide maternity and infant care, overcome childhood malnutrition, provide vaccinations to prevent disease. We also send medicines to medical teams serving throughout the world, sea containers of medical supplies and equipment to Haiti/Dominican Republic and Africa, and clothing and supplies to those in need in the U.S. (primarily Northern Virginia, The District of Columbia, Appalachia, and Native American Reservations).
