Description:

Our medical clinics are staffed and run by local personnel but are highly dependent upon our Venture Program, which allows for visiting teams of physicians, surgeons, dentists, nurses, and other volunteers to provide Christ-centered medical and dental care for the impoverished people we serve.

Visiting family practitioners can conduct health clinics and immunization programs. Dental teams provide basic care, including evaluations, restorations, and extractions, as well as sealants and additional prophylactic care. Common surgical procedures include hernia repair, tonsillectomies, plastic surgery, scar revision, gynecology, and limited orthopedic procedures.

Medical teams from the USA, Canada, and the UK are welcome to join or coordinate trips through our Venture Program. Individuals with no medical background may also participate in medical trips, assisting in registration and recovery as needed.
Our medical clinics are also highly dependent on supplies and medications provided through our Resource Program.

Organizational Base: Silverdale, Washington
