Our Medical Volunteers
Without the support and generosity of our
over 4,000 medical volunteers, Healing the Children
Northeast, Inc. would not be able to arrange the donated
medical services that we have done so successfully for
over 26 years.
For periods from 7-10 days,
our Medical Teams
Abroad Program (MTAP) Volunteers travel, on their
vacation time and at their own expense, to developing
countries. Up to 100 procedures or more are performed on
needy children at these locations. In advance of these
missions, team members raise funds, collect supplies and
procure borrowed equipment to make the missions a
reality.
Annually, over 40
children are brought to the United States through our
International Inbound Program where they receive
life-altering, donated medical services from generous
physicians, medical facilities and other medical
specialty providers. Without their willingness to donate
services, countless children would have no hope of a
normal life. The host families who love and care for
these children throughout their treatment are just as
important.
The individuals listed
below represent only a handful of the generous medical
professionals and facilities that make our work a
possibility:
