This trip is now closed. Please check out our other opportunities at www.ghotrips.org.

We welcome physicians, dentists, pharmacists, optometrists, physican assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, first responders, dental hygienists, dental assistants, physical/occupation therapists, students, and logistics (non-medical helpers) on all of our general medicine and dentistry trips.

We will be working with our in-country partners of the Dominican Republic, Oasis church, who will provide security, transportation, interpreters, and generally see to our needs as a team. Each caregiver will have their own interpreter, as well as those in triage and the pharmacy.

We will fly into Santo Domingo on Saturday, and with our Oasis Church partners, we will cross the border on Sunday and serve within the Toykio District in the city of Port-au-Prince. This community is the second poorest and underserved community within the city and all of Haiti.

Leaving the clinic site every day, we will return to the guest house for the evening meal, worship and devotionals. Saturday will be set aside for a day of sightseeing in the DR before returning home on Sunday.Our team will stay at a secure guest house with multiple persons (single sex) to a room with a common bathroom attached to each room. Food is safe and plentiful. Bottled water is provided to all team members at all times. You will feel safe and come to enjoy and appreciate the love and gentleness of the Haitian people who love Americans.

Please consider joining us to minister to these amazing people!

NOTE: The above information gives a historical perspective for this trip and the 2017 team will not be traveling into Port-Au-Prince, but will be setting up clinics in the sugarcane areas where migrant Haitian villagers work. More information to follow.

Rick Boden, MD is the Team Leader.
