Mission: 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, medical supplies, clothing and food to the areas we serve. One area of focus has been along the Haiti-Dominican Republic border. In Thomassique, Haiti, we have built and support a clinic (hospital), and we also work to provide potable water and to overcome childhood malnutrition.   We also provide supplies and disaster relief to those in need in the USA and worldwide.
