Onsite projects

Medical checkups

We will volunteer our talents and expertise to a developing community just outside Bani, Dominican Republic. The team will check blood pressure, heart rate and sugar levels. We will also be offering pain relief and treatment for cuts/scrapes.

Non-medical eye exams

We will provide non-medical eye exams for nearby developing communities! Seeing for the first time can give someone that sense of security they’ve never felt before. 4North’s non-medical eye exams have serviced thousands of people in many different communities globally.

Medicine distribution

Partnered with Perrigo, our free medicine distribution covers the ages of newborns to adults. We can help manage pain relief, allergies, cuts, scrapes, rashes and much more.

Physical therapy

Understanding the importance of physical therapy changes developing communities. Our team will work with one-on-one with the patient, building a personal program that fits their needs. Our sessions truly improve their quality of life.

What our travelers have said:

I had the opportunity to attend the first medical clinic with 4North Project. It was an amazing week! Everything from the clinic to the guest house to the pools, rooftop bar, adventures, and resort was truly amazing. The medical clinic was a huge success and ran so smoothly. It really reminded me why I wanted to be a nurse. The strangers I met on this trip turned into friends and everyone was so welcoming. This week was a very nice mix of work, play, and adventure. Thank you Matt for organizing such a trip, I can’t wait for the next one 🙂

This was an awesome trip with the good balance between work and play. I even could have done an extra day of clinic if there was a need in the Bani community. I absolutely loved getting to know other travelers with similar beliefs and drive for social justice and global health inequities. I would definitely recommend this for anyone interested in stepping outside their comfort zones.

This trip was life changing! The people, the adventure, the work… it was all so very worth it!

So many good memories and good friends were made! It was wonderful to serve a truly needy population and see the joy it brought them. Would go again in a heart beat.
