What we do
Six areas of care, one team.
Each mission brings a full clinical team so a family can be seen for everything in one visit, from a toothache to a pair of reading glasses.
Medical clinics
Primary and preventive care from volunteer physicians and nurses: screenings, chronic disease checks, treatment and referrals.
Dental care
Volunteer dentists and hygienists provide preventative, primary, secondary and tertiary care for patients of all ages, many of whom are seeing a dentist for the first time.
Vision care
Eye screenings, prescription glasses and referrals for sight-limiting conditions that keep people from work and school.
Pharmacy
Essential medications sourced, transported and dispensed on site, with counselling so treatment continues after we leave.
Education
Health education in the clinic and school support in the community, from supplies to teaching partnerships.
Safety & first response
Trained first responders keep clinics, teams and patients safe, and handle emergencies in the field.
How a mission works
From planning to follow-up.
1
Invitation and planning
We partner with local clinics, schools and community leaders who know what their community needs most.
2
Team and supplies
Volunteer clinicians commit, travel is coordinated, and medication, instruments and equipment are sourced and shipped.
3
The clinic
Over several days the team runs medical, dental, vision and pharmacy stations side by side, so one visit covers a whole family.
4
Follow-up
Referrals are handed to local providers, supplies are left behind, and we plan the return visit.
Stand with the mission.
There is a place for everyone at GLIMT, whether you give, partner, sponsor or serve in the field.
