Bringing vital help to the poorest of the poor. For more than a decade, Flying Doctors of America has been bringing together physicians, dentists, nurses, chiropractors, other health professionals and non-medical support volunteers to care for people who otherwise would never receive professional medical care. Knowing that someone cares renews hope for these people who live in an otherwise hopeless situation. With Flying Doctors, everybody wins. The medical and nonmedical volunteers miss only a few days of work and go on the adventure of a lifetime.
Support volunteers serve as translators, team leaders, photographers and healthcare assistants.
The individual or corporate sponsors get tax benefits plus the knowledge that they are making a real difference in the world. And most of all, those in need receive first-rate medical care. OUR PAST Launching an effective outreach on a wing and a prayer. In the past eight years the organization has flown more than 100 missions and provided free medical care to over 85,000 children, women and men. Among the areas served are Mexico, South and Central America, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, India, Africa, Mongolia and Thailand.
