Timmy Connect Trip

This special medical service trip is designed for smaller Timmy chapters or chapters whose members have not participated in a Timmy trip in several years. By opening participation across chapters, recruitment and coordination are shared rather than falling on a single chapter, with Timmy managing the overall coordination.

Medical Service trips are a flagship component of Timmy Global Health’s continuum of care in Montecristi, Dominican Republic. We work alongside our local partner, BANELINO, to provide a continuity of services to our partner communities and access to healthcare. Additionally, Timmy financially supports and expands their local health programs through fundraising.

Medical professionals and volunteers will arrive on May 15 and depart on May 23 via Cibao International Airport (STI), with group transportation provided to Montecristi, approximately two hours away. The group will typically conduct 5 days of clinic in different bateyes- banana plantation communities. The clinic sites themselves are adopted communities, chosen alongside our partner organization. These sites are visited during every medical service trip to the DR.

TIMMY’s Partner

In the Dominican Republic, our primary partner is BANELINO, founded in 1996 when smaller banana producers in Montecristi and Mao decided to join forces. BANELINO stands for Organic Bananas from the Northwest Line, and it is an organization whose goal is to guarantee banana sales throughout the whole year at a fair price that permits employees and their families to live dignified lives.

Important Note

Your days in Montecristi will be an invaluable opportunity to learn more about a country different from your own and serve people in much need of your time, energy, and hope. It will also be a week to reflect on your beliefs, attitudes, and goals. Your experience will be a fun, challenging, and eye-opening experience. But remember that the trip only lasts a short time, so we urge you to come with an open mind, a flexible attitude, and a sense of humor.

Open Roles

If you have completed your residency and carry a medical license and diploma, you can join as a medical professional.

We are seeking medical providers, including MDs/DOs, NPs, and PAs. We are also recruiting general volunteers, with priority given to Timmy chapter members.
