Medical Teams Abroad Program

Our Medical Teams Abroad Program reaches across national boundaries to provide our world’s children with desperately needed medical care. We arrange teams of volunteer doctors, nurses, anesthesiologists, and other medical professionals to go to less developed countries where they provide medical treatments and surgeries for children in need.

International Inbound Program

The International Inbound Program brings children from developing countries to the United States where we match the needs of the child with a volunteer doctor and/or hospital with that specialty. We arrange for travel to the U.S., as well as visas for the child and parent. A volunteer host family is found who will open their home for the child and parent while the child is receiving medical treatment in the U.S.

Domestic Kids Program

The Domestic Kids Program has provided medical treatment and assistance to children in our local communities who were unable to get these services due to a lack of financial resources. We have arranged for children to receive services such as dental care, eye care and glasses, hearing screening and hearing aids, medical and surgical care, medical equipment and apparatus, prescription medications, physical therapy & speech therapy.
