Medical Missionaries organizes and sponsors a variety of trips including medical, surgical, dental, educational and construction/maintenance to places that need their services in Haiti. The teams work with local doctors and nurses, treat patients, and help the local medical staff establish or improve medical facilities and care in the needy areas.
Medical Missionaries trips typically serve the populations of rural Haiti, specifically around Thomassique where our clinic/hospital, St. Joseph Clinic, is located. Due to the remoteness and impoverishment of these areas, residents do not have consistent or easy access to medical care. Our medical and dental teams make day trips to different villages in these regions where they hold free health clinics for the local residents. They also provide support and training to local healthcare workers and the Clinic staff. Our surgical teams care for patients at the St. Joseph Clinic.

We welcome doctors, physicians assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, paramedics, pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, dentists, dental hygienists, medical students, etc. Each trip has a team leader who determines the provider needs for their trip. 

Most one-week trips cost approximately $1200 total including deposit/application fee (due upon acceptance), airfare, room and board, ground transportation, a couple restaurant meals/snacks, pocket money, and a hotel room on the last night. Medical Missionaries provides an easy online way for volunteers to fundraise individually through their family and friends, if desired. Each volunteer is responsible for paying a trip fee to Medical Missionaries either through this fundraising site or by paying with personal credit card or check. Additionally, volunteers are responsible for purchasing their own airline tickets, paying for their restaurant meals, their hotel room for the last night and any other extra incidental costs. Please note, should you choose to fundraise through our site, we will allot $600 of your raised funds (AFTER the trip fee is covered) as a travel allowance, and Medical Missionaries will send you a check for this amount to use towards your airfare. If there are remaining donated funds after the trip fee and travel allotment are covered, be aware that the excess donations will go to Medical Missionaries to be used where needed, most likely towards acquiring and transporting medications for the trip. All trip participants should take precautions to guard against malaria while in Haiti. Taking an anti-malarial drug is recommended, as is the use of bug repellent and mosquito netting over beds.
