Our Impact Around the World
Hurricane Michael: we're there.
At the request of the Florida Department of Health, we've sent multiple teams of doctors and nurses to the state to respond to Hurricane Michael. Our volunteer doctors and nurses have been working at medical facilities and special-needs shelters providing primary healthcare to people affected by the storm, giving local first responders the opportunity to rest and attend to their own losses in the wake of the devastating hurricane.
