Overview
Our Work
Clinic will take place in the remote island communities of Union Island where up to 90% of buildings were damaged or destroyed in the wake of Hurricane Beryl. Our team will provide medical expertise, specializing in optometry, dentistry, health, and hygiene education to hundreds of local men, women, and children. The communities within these remote islands have a population of over 3,000 people, some villages only being accessible via boat are amongst the poorest islands in the Caribbean.
With diligent planning and preparation, IMR is dedicated to ensuring that specific goals are met on our missions, each in correlation to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 3, 6, and 17.
IMR works to elevate vulnerable populations through shoulder-to-shoulder care with our local partners, creating workforce density, and a cadre of future healthcare and public health leaders in association to UNSDG 3: Good Health & Wellbeing.
Our medical mission teams also work toward UNSDG 6: Clean Water & Sanitation by supporting and strengthening the participation of local communities in improving their water quality, and installing water filtration systems that supply communities with clean drinking water and providing education on hydration and hygiene.
In correlation with UNSDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals, our organization works in collaboration and at the request of local hosts where we are under their direct influence and affluence. IMR never goes into a country without a formal invitation where there is a great community need for medical or dental care, and health education.
This Mission
The Grenadine Island chain consists of 35 small islands and is located in the Caribbean Sea. These islands are situated 120 miles southwest of Barbados and 150 miles south of Trinidad.
The island chain was hit hard by Hurricane Beryl in early July. The hospital on Union Island was severely damaged; the medical staff is now forced to treat patients in the lobby area or out on the street.
On this disaster relief trip, you will fly into Argyle International Airport on St. Vincent. Upon arrival, you will ferry over to Union Island to meet your team.
Lodging/Transportation
Before your departure, you will be advised of your accommodations so you know how to pack. Upon your arrival, all transportation and ferries to clinic will be arranged for you.
