Eye-opening.
July 26, 2025by: Madalynn SampsonThis trip was so eye-opening to me. It gave me the opportunity to learn about another culture and myself in so many different ways. The staff took great care of us and made sure to show us all the popular spots around Belize!
We were quickly adopted into the care community.
July 26, 2025by: Hailey LozanoThis trip showed me more than the clinical side to medicine. It showed me the care and support of community is a part of healing. We were quickly adopted into the caring community and I hope to bring that into my own practice.
I would recommend it to everyone.
