LOS ANGELES MEDICAL MISSION TEAM

Los Angeles Medical Mission Team is a 501(c3) nonprofit organization. All contributions are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by the Internal Revenue Code... About the Los Angeles Medical Mission Team, we are doctors, surgeons, dentists, nurses and volunteers who travel to Guatemala annually to provide free medical care... For one week a year, we take over a hospital that is not operating and set up our equipment and supplies. While there, we will see about 1,000 patients in the clinic for wellness checkups, general ailments, and dental issues. On average, our surgical staff will perform 135 surgeries, such as gallbladder removals, tubal ligations, and hernias. And when the size of our team allows, we also send an outreach team into a local village so people who don't have access to transportation can see a clinic doctor and/or a dentist.
