Volunteer in Haiti
CMMB's Medical Volunteer Program and Haiti have always been linked. In fact, we had our beginnings when Dr. Paluel Flagg went there as a volunteer to help those suffering from leprosy in 1912.
Learn about the Medical Volunteer Program.
The crisis in Haiti has spurred many MVP alum to take up the cause of service once again and volunteer their time to those survivors of the earthquake in Haiti. Short-term mission teams are available through a number of CMMB partners. These trips are typically 2-12 weeks in length.
Preferences for Haiti Volunteers are:
- Occupational Therapists
- Physical Therapists

For those medical professionals interested in dedicating longer amounts of time to service for those in need, opportunities are available.
