Medical Teams has an impact locally and globally. They work to improve and save lives with Mobile Dental vans, doctors and nurse teams working in countries in need and even sending volunteers to build stoves to improve respiratory health in places where indoor fire pits contribute to early death. This is an amazing organization who rely on volunteers.
