International Medical Relief welcomes all family members to participate in our clinics.

Our family medical missions give parents the tools to establish the mindset for service and appreciation within their children. Your child(ren) will experience a new culture and gain perspectives beyond their day-to-day scope of life back home. They will become inspired for their future careers as they do things they have never done, explore places they have never been, and serve people they have never met.

Start a new tradition or carry out an old one with your family as you spend time on a medical mission and watch your children amaze you as they grow from these experiences. Family members of all ages from toddlers through teens have varying roles in clinic to fit their target age and maturity. No age is too young!

Exposing children to various cultures, from the food to the local traditions, adds unique value and experiences that your family will cherish for years to come. Instill in your family’s values compassion and generosity as you provide hope and kindness by serving others. You will be proud as you witness your child(ren) doing something meaningful for others. Exposing them to varying cultures allows them to frame their global experiences to mirror your passion for awareness and adventure.

Young family members and students play a wide variety of roles in our clinics. They will help in community education, registration, hand washing station, photographer, shadow a variety of providers (ideal for older children), help our patients go from one area of clinic to another (children are always great at directing traffic!), and entertain more than a few kids with a little nail polish, bubbles, singing songs, card games, and soccer or football games.
