Flying Samaritans Arizona, Tucson Chapter
Flying Samaritans Arizona is a volunteer-based, nonsectarian organization dedicated to providing free medical care to residents in remote, underserved regions of Mexico who are unable to access medical services. To accomplish this mission, organization activities include but are not limited to:
- Establish and operate clinics to provide medical, dental, and chiropractic care at no cost in Mexican communities.
- Recruit volunteers who wish to join the organization as members and participate in the organization’s activities or support the mission.
- Raise funds to establish and operate clinical facilities and procure (and maintain/replenish) medical equipment and supplies for those facilities.
- Partner with health care programs at universities, allowing participation of students and graduates at Flying Samaritans Arizona clinics as part of their training and community service.
- Assist select hospitals in Mexico by providing medical specialties not commonly available at those hospitals.
The Tucson Chapter of Flying Samaritans Arizona operates three clinics. Two clinics are in Baja California, and one in Agua Prieta (just south of Douglas). The Agua Prieta clinic is run by University of Arizona students under the supervision of licensed physicians and dentists.
