Dear Colleagues,

We know that many of you are already at the frontline of COVID-19 and are working closely with communities to “flatten the curve.”  As an organization devoted to improving the health status of medically underserved communities, we understand how important these efforts are.

Following the advice of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) to limit travel and social interactions we have decided to temporarily suspend all pending trips and rotations until further notice.  We will be reassessing this decision periodically and while we will continue to accept trip leader applications and rotation requests, we will continue to follow CDC and WHO guidance.

Throughout this period of time we are continuing to support our partner clinics, where local physicians and healthcare staff provide the critical day-to-day care and services to their communities.  If you would like to donate to help us continue to support these vital efforts you can do so here.

We thank you for your support during this time as well as all your efforts during this unprecedented time.
