Dallas Doctors Care

Each year, hundreds of Dallas-area physicians give up a week or two to be part of a medical missions team that provides medical care to patients in Third World countries. For many physicians, these trips require weeks or months of planning to ensure they have the required vaccinations, passport, medical equipment, and coverage for their own patients while they are gone. These efforts are noble and much needed, but the physicians may not realize they can do medical mission work right here in the Dallas/Fort Worth area with patients in dire need of medical attention.

Rather than give up a week or two to participate in an international medical missions trip, why not lend your time and expertise to work in the “mission fields” of the Dallas/Fort Worth area? If you are a physician and you are interested in volunteering at one of the following clinics, please contact Connie J. Webster, DCMS director of community health/Project Access, at 214-413-1426 or connie@dallas-cms.org.
