Vietnam Medical Missions
Volunteers will be immersed in the rich H’mong culture, and what an experience it is!

Santa Apalonia, Guatemala Medical Missions
The highlands of Guatemala is the perfect place to reach out to those in need, and help a community reaching out to help themselves. GHR volunteers will stay in the beautiful Spanish colonial town of Antigua, and will conduct three clinics throughout the week, with an opportunity for cultural immersion and team building. Clinics are held at villages in the spectacular highlands region of Guatemala (specific locations will not be disclosed for security reasons). These trips will consist of primary care and education, as we continue to implement our educational programs with local health liaisons. These trips are also ideal for pre-med/pre-healthcare students to expand your exposure to rural health and prepare for a life long career in healthcare and community service. GHR is honored to continue our partnership with ALDEA, a local Guatemalan NGO, which has provided community education and healthcare to indigenous communities for more than 55 years!

San Juan la Laguna, Guatemala Medical Missions
GHR is excited to announce a new partnership with local Guatemalan physicians in the San Juan la Laguna region. This will be the first time since 2019 that GHR is returning to communities along the magnificent Lake Atitlan, and we couldn’t be more excited! This is a “founding trip”, the first team in a new location, which requires volunteers with a particular level of flexibility to adjust to new challenges and establish a foundation for GHR to return to for years to come. GHR volunteers will stay in the quaint town of San Juan la Laguna, and will conduct 3 clinics in rural villages in the surrounding area (specific locations will not be disclosed for security reasons). This trip is situated a couple weeks before we all celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday, and what better way to celebrate ‘Thanksgiving’ than by giving back to underserved communities?!
