DOCARE International, NFP
Description
DOCARE International, NFP, is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization comprised of health care professionals representing many disciplines. Founded by an osteopathic physician in 1961, the all-volunteer membership includes DO and MD physicians, nurses, dentists, veterinarians, pharmacists, optometrists, podiatrists, physician assistants and interested lay people who contribute special skills.
A medical outreach organization, DOCARE's primary objective is to bring needed health care to primitive and isolated people in remote areas of Western Hemisphere countries. Other service areas have been and may be included in the future including responding to disasters in our own country.
DOCARE medical missions have gone to northern Mexico to serve the Tarahumara Indians in the past. More recently efforts have concentrated on Central Yucatan to serve Mayan Indians and to Ecuador, Guatemala and El Salvador. Areas of concentration change as the need changes and also depend on the improvement in availability of medical care locally. Missions have also taken place in the Caribbean, and an orphanage in Nogales.
