Short-term Recurring Medical Clinics:<\/strong>
\nVolunteer medical service teams are recruited, trained and deployed at least every 2.5 months to each area Timmy serves. The intent is to provide consistent, sustained quality primary care to those in need. A normal medical team includes 4-6 physicians, 2 nurses, 2 pharmacists, and 15 students (including pre-med and medical students). Additionally, surgical teams have been added to Timmy\u2019s range of activities in support of the areas it serves.\u00a0Timmy also employs fulltime coordinators and community health workers who live and work in the communities Timmy serves,\u00a0providing continuous presence and thereby significantly improving the continuity of care for individual patients, heightened effectiveness for the visiting medical teams, and, a vehicle through which Timmy can help improve the capacity of its local partners.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ position_vertical=”middle” gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]
