Los Médicos Voladores (LMV) is a volunteer-based nonprofit organization that helps improve the health and well-being of the peoples of Mexico and Central America through the provision of no-cost, high-quality healthcare and health education clinics in rural villages in northern Mexico (northern Sonora and Baja), El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras; and among migrant labor populations in the Coachella Valley of the southwestern United States (southern California). Since 1975 LMV has offered more than 230 short-term medical, dental, optometry, and other healthcare clinics, treating over 7,000 patients per year.
Our work bolsters the longer-term health of the communities we support by providing immediate medical, dental, optometric, and other healthcare; and by offering appropriate tools, healthy living knowledge, and cooperation with existing health personnel and officials where possible.
This site provides further information and member services for the High Sierra Chapter of LMV, based in Truckee, California. Complete details about Los Médicos Voladores at flyingdocs.org.
