Healthcare Mission

The Global Mission Partnership Task Force and Samaritans Now, an Episcopal medical relief program, are hosting an informational meeting for any and all healthcare professionals interested in participating in a mission trip (doctors, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, pharmacists, physical therapists, psychologists, clinical social workers, etc.). Plans are currently underway for healthcare mission trips in 2010 and 2011 to the Caribbean, West Bank and Africa.
In our time together we anticipate that you’ll develop a vision for what is involved in this type of trip, learn more about details of participation as a member of a medical team, and discern whether or not this is the right commitment for you. Participants will hear from others who have participated in, and led, healthcare missions, and see some video clips of a mission team in action. There will be ample opportunities to have your questions answered and talk with other healthcare professionals.
If you’ve ever had any thoughts about participating in a healthcare mission trip, we hope you’ll consider joining us. Questions can be addressed to Ted Gaiser at tgaiser@diomass.org or 617.782.1577.
