The dental team will be extremely busy caring for patients in need of extractions and treating the many abscesses that show what happens when dental care is not available. Your team will also provide general health education for every patient during community education classes and specific education at the provider stations to help patients prevent future illness. This is going to be a great trip!

You will stay in a safe and comfortable hotels with bottled water and excellent meals cooked to American standards provided by IMR throughout your stay. Transportation is provided for your team by professional drivers in safe vehicles. You will be a remote area of Costa Rica caring for patients with little or no access to care so be prepared for a little jungle time!

Families will be the highlight of your clinic days. Multigenerational families will be the heart of every clinic. You will be able to provide care for the entire family, ensuring their health and well-being for years to come. There will be lots of opportunity to provide education around well-baby care, nutrition, and hygiene - which fits well with Costa Rica's ongoing efforts to increase the effectiveness of hand washing.

Ziplining, jungle walks, bird watching, perfect beaches, waterfalls, adventure parks, volcanos, hot springs, surfing, horseback riding, monkeys, and more await your exploration in this beautiful and wild country.
