Travel with C.U.R.E. Clinics as a Medical Volunteer
C.U.R.E. Clinics is an opportunity to travel with a purpose. By working closely with Project C.U.R.E.’s in-country partners, C.U.R.E. Clinics provides sustainable international development aid that supports our partner’s existing efforts to improve health systems in their communities. Both medical and non-medical volunteers provide four days of clinics, often working side by side with local healthcare professionals exchanging valuable medical knowledge and providing primary care and community health education for the people of that area, many of whom have never seen a doctor.

Delivering Healthcare in Ghana Results in Contagious Smiles
We all quickly became close and worked together seamlessly to treat 1,026 Ghanaian patients at five different clinic sites in the Ahafo region. What I admired the most about our team was our openness with each other. Despite different ages, stages of life, and backgrounds, we all seemed to find something meaningful to connect with each other, whether it was a crazy story from our current jobs back at home or dancing the night away at a restaurant in Accra, it truly felt like we were cut from the same cloth.
Clinic Story: Four Nurses Found Friendship and Gratitude in India with Project C.U.R.E
Nurses have the rewarding job of healing the mind, body, and soul of their patients, and sometimes their patients do the same for them. This was especially true for Serena Noinala, Joey Balog, Saili Kline, and Jessica Decess, four registered nurses from Boston, Atlanta and Denver whose lives were touched after their international clinics trip to India with Project C.U.R.E. After an exhausting journey of over 40 hours, these four nurses met in state of Mizoram in northwest India, in a town called Aizawl, a seemingly forgotten village that was built on cliff walls.
