The country
The Dominican Republic is a beautiful, vibrant country and it is a safe location to visit, despite the headlines in the news during the first half of 2019. WOFKC and Puente have been working in Constanza for over 10 years. Healthcare is often considered to be an individual issue. We see it as an indispensable component of a community that is close to our heart. Please click on the photo for general info on the DR and where we work
Medical background
Healthcare is available in the DR, but those on low incomes frequently have no real access to physicians, medications, health education or general care. Click here for further information on the healthcare situation in the DR.

Join us on a trip
We always need volunteers! There are a lot of opportunities for physicians, nurses, NPs, PAs, Dentist, Dental assistants, and hygienists. However these trips offer opportunities for everyone - we always need people to help with the logistics, the management of patients, distribution of meds and so much more. Even if you are not a physician, you will get a tremendous amount out of this trip personally, as well as being of enormous assistance to the community. |
