We Provide Patient & Project Follow-Up
MEDLIFE employs full-time staff members in Ecuador, Costa Rica, Peru, and Tanzania. These dedicated individuals commit to a year-round follow-up program, ensuring the return and provision of necessary care to patients and projects. They also work on maintaining and servicing long-term needs.
We Hire Local Professionals
Local medical professionals know the language and culture and possess expertise in the country’s symptoms and treatments of common ailments. Consequently, they deeply understand the local systems, infrastructure, and government processes. This understanding empowers us to provide enhanced services, fostering a higher level of care for our patients.
We Keep Volunteers Engaged Year-Round
We encourage all volunteers to continue their MEDLIFE involvement year-round by starting or joining a Chapter on their campus. Being part of the Movement and actively engaging in this cause allows you to contribute to making a lasting impact on the lives of those in need.
We Work Hand-in-Hand With Community Members
MEDLIFE and our volunteers complete 50% of the work during our Service Learning Trips, while community members do the remaining 50%. To ensure the effectiveness of our efforts, we actively develop relationships with the communities we bring volunteers to months before a Service Learning Trip.
Our Alumni: Where They Are Now
Ever wondered where our former MEDLIFE chapter members and volunteers ended up after their time with us? Look no further! We’re proud to highlight the incredible journeys of our alumni who have gone on to become amazing professionals, leaders, and change-makers in their respective fields.
Explore their inspiring stories and learn how their experiences with MEDLIFE have shaped their careers, fueled their passions, and influenced their commitment to social change and community service.
