Medical Clinics
During their time in La Romana, the DR Mission Team (DRMT) hosts daily medical clinics in the bateyes and barrios for those who have no access to health care. The DRMT’s clinicians – nurses, physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, dentist, physical therapists – will treat 100+ adults and children each day during these clinics, normally held in small churches or schools. Medicine purchased and donated in the United States is prescribed and distributed in the make-shift pharmacy.
Sponsors are needed for these daily medical clinics held during the four weeks the DR Mission Team serves annually – serving between 1,500 and 2,000 patients annually who otherwise would not have access to desperately-needed health care.
