Medical missions brings the remedy for disease, at home and abroad. And medical missions brings the remedy for sin —Jesus Christ. But in order to do either, medical missions requires healthcare professionals committed to bring the remedy – the good news of Jesus.

Meanwhile, the world is coming to us, providing daily opportunities to share the gospel with people from most of the 195 countries of the world.
