This Year’s Mission
We are excited to announce our 2024 medical mission with IMAHelps, taking place from July 25 to August 4 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. We are currently seeking volunteers to join our team and make a difference in this vibrant community.

IMAHelps organizes medical humanitarian missions that provide some of the world's most underserved people with everything from general medical and dental care to life-changing surgeries, prosthetics and other specialized services that reflect the expertise of our volunteers.
What We Do
IMAHelps is changing the lives of impoverished people around the world, but our medical humanitarian outreach efforts do much more than make a difference in the lives of the poor.
Our volunteers find that helping others changes their lives, too, whether it’s re-igniting their interest in medicine or opening their minds and hearts to better appreciate everything we have in life and the positive feelings that come from helping those in need.
IMAHelps operates solely on a volunteer basis, and our dedicated team members personally cover their own travel expenses. This ensures that every cent of your generous donation is directly allocated towards the purchase of essential medicines and supplies required for each mission.
From Latin America to Asia, IMAHelps targets its missions to locations with extremely high levels of poverty where we can make a difference.
Every dollar donated provides $30 to more than $100 in medical, dental, surgical and prosthetic care each year. The return on investment varies depending on the complexity of the cases we handle on each mission.
IMAHelps medical missions are generally 10 days in length, allowing volunteers of all ages and fields to come together for a great cause.
Although the composition of our medical missions can differ each time, we usually assemble a diverse team of healthcare professionals. This typically encompasses pharmacists, pediatricians, general internal medicine doctors, OBGYNs, dentists, eye doctors, prosthetists, neurologists, urologists, general surgeons, cardiologists, orthopedic surgeons, plastic and maxillofacial surgeons, anesthesiologists, scrub techs, nurses, and interpreters.
"We hope to have the opportunity to change lives, strengthen friendships, and continue improving the world around us."
