Make an Impact in Nepal: Join Our 2027 Clinic Team!

We are excited to announce our upcoming C.U.R.E. Clinic to Nepal in partnership with Helping Hands Foundation. This mission will take place from September 16 – 28, 2027, in the heart of the eastern Himalayas, serving the community of Tumlingtar. During the Clinic, you will spend a full week providing essential medical care to patients, working side by side with local healthcare workers, and supporting their efforts to deliver healthcare in a region with limited resources. Nestled in the breathtaking landscape of the Himalayas, this immersive experience will not only provide critical healthcare support but also offer a journey through Nepal’s hidden treasures.

PARTICIPANT APPLICATION

Our Clinic Model

In addition to the medical work, the team will have the opportunity to particpant in a cultural excursion. Past participants have had the chance to embark on scenic hikes and meet the Tibetan tribes living in this remote region. We will also have time in Kathmandu, where you can explore the vibrant capital, visit historical landmarks, and experience the rich cultural heritage of Nepal before or after our time in Tumlingtar.

While participating in this C.U.R.E. Clinic, prepare to be at high altitude, staying hydrated to avoid altitude sickness. Note that several mountain roads are curvy so volunteers with motion sickness should prepare accordingly. Also note that Clinics are often built with 3–4 levels, requiring lots of stairs and ladders.

Clinic Trip Itinerary

This C.U.R.E. Clinic’s 13-day itinerary includes five Clinic days of direct patient care. Beyond the Clinic, you will explore each unique region in Nepal, engaging with the community and gaining deeper insight into the unique challenges and strengths of local healthcare delivery.
