Medical Mission

The Medical Mission Committee of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish (Tenafly, NJ)  is a partnership of physicians, nurses, and other medical professionals as well as lay volunteers, supported by the the parish in general, who wish to share their medical talents and their capacity for spiritual support with people in areas of need. The overarching goal is to identify and to help meet the medical needs of the under served through medical mission trips of limited duration but with a mindset to providing sustainable medical solutions.

Our volunteers work as a team to treat local residents with professional care and human empathy and respect and will, in return, learn from them about the local culture and customs.

Thanks in advance to all for your support and helping us achieve our goals of helping this under served Carmelite community in Honduras! Check out the photos from our scouting trip below:

 

Our initial week-long scouting trip was in October, 2018 to Jose Galvez, an area on the outskirts of Lima, Peru. Our first full Medical Mission team visit to Jose Galvez was in the Fall of 2018, where medical care was supplemented by medical education and, in warranted cases, referrals to local medical facilities or physicians for ongoing care. If you are interested in joining the team or donating or have any questions please contact 201-568-0545.

The Medical Mission team’s last trip to Jose Galvez, Peru occurred in October 2019. Check out the photos below from that trip!
