Happy hour from 6-10 PM EST ALL TICKETS PROCEEDS WILL BE DONATED TO THE SIERRA LEONE MEDICAL MISSION TRIP! NON-REFUNDABLE TICKETS This December 2021/January 2022 the Sierra Leone Medical Mission Trip plans to return to Sierra Leone and offer healthcare services to those in great need. This will be a community health outreach clinic in Freetown, Sierra Leone and is a 100% donation based initiative developed to bring affordable and accessible health care tailored to women and children in West Africa. During this time we will aspire to offer healthcare that meets and reflects the needs of all women and children in the SL region regardless of background, financial/ socioeconomic status, disability or age. We have a dedicated team of healthcare professional volunteers stemming from MDs, PAs, RNs, Dentists, Triage volunteers, and more! The clinic days will offer primary care, women’s health/education, pediatric well visits, eye exams, and modest dental services. To carry out the clinic days we need your help! The clinic operations and duration will be heavily dependent on both monetary and supply donations. All monetary donations will go directly toward purchasing medical items and equipment for the community health outreach clinic.
