Description:

The 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. Our trips have been to Ecuador, Colombia, Nicaragua, Peru, Thailand, Bolivia, Honduras, and Brazil to name a few. In 2015 we provided services to 1,421 children. From it's inception in 1985 to the end of 2015 this program alone has provided services to 47, 704 children and young adults.

Organizational Base: New Milford, Connecticut

Other Programs: Primarily surgical teams
