Outreach Programs
CAMSA's Outreach Program includes conducting medical missions to underserved communities throughout the Caribbean, organizing conferences, health fairs and town hall meetings geared towards health promotion and the prevention of chronic diseases. Our program also includes health screening and distribution of literature.
Medical Missions
CAMSA medical missions primarily to the Caribbean target underserved areas in the countries with permission of the Ministries of Health. CAMSA teams with organizations such as Caribbean American Outreach Association, Millenium Sistahs and Partnership for healthy Families to conduct health outreach in e.g. Trinidad & Tobago, Grenada, Jamaica and St. Lucia. Members pay their own transportation and accommodation expenses. The volunteer multidisciplinary team of doctors, nurses and others see both adult and pediatric patients, doing physical examinations, treating urgent problems, dispensing medication and providing counseling. CAMSA welcomes other healthcare professionals to join us as we plan future missions.
