Our Story

Is a small part of God's Story...

in 1995 two doctors and three helpers from Jacksonville Chapel visited Robins Bay, Jamaica to provide a free medical clinic. 

The following year, Team Healthcare was incorporated as a 501c3 and began recruiting medical teams to run free clinics once per year.

Since then, we have expanded to provide not only medical care but also vacation Bible schools and construction to Jamaica, Honduras, Peru, Brazil, Rwanda, Kenya, the Philippines and Mali.
