A Community Underserved
Healthcare services for residents of Consuelo are severely limited due to the lack of available facilities, the costs associated with services, and the fact that all non-citizens are completely ineligible for participation in the government health insurance program. This is especially true in the northern part of Consuelo, which is most distant from the center of town, in a community where private ownership of transportation is rare, and where the majority of the community are non-citizens.
Short-Term Missions Trips usually have a health-care component, where mobile clinics are brought into one or more of the churches or community centers for a number of days. Hundreds of people in the community receive medical and/or dental care that they would not have otherwise been able to access.
Mobile Medical & Dental Clinics
DMA’s mobile clinic teams bring essential healthcare directly into the communities of Consuelo, setting up in churches and community centers to serve residents who have no other access to care.
Mobile Medical Clinics
Bring healing and comfort to communities with limited access to healthcare. Working alongside local healthcare providers, our mobile medical teams set up clinics in underserved areas, offering essential health screenings, consultations, basic treatments, and preventative education. Your presence can provide relief from pain, manage chronic conditions, and offer the compassion of Christ through the ministry of medicine and prayer.
Mobile Dental Clinics
Brighten smiles and improve overall health through our mobile dental clinics. We provide much-needed dental care, including cleanings, fillings, extractions, and oral health education. This crucial service not only alleviates dental pain but also contributes significantly to the well-being and confidence of the individuals we serve.
Next Step — Primary Care
Health & Life Primary Care Clinic
Beyond the occasional mobile clinic event, our priority & next step is to build out the Health & Life Primary Care Clinic adjacent to the main church campus in Consuelo. The clinic will be built in a building already owned by the church, will be open regularly throughout the week, and will provide a much broader range of services than the mobile clinics can offer.

Health & Life Medical Center — Capital Campaign
Construction has already begun on Health & Life Medical Center, a four-story Tier-3 hospital on church property. Fully approved by the Dominican government for participation in the national health care insurance program, the hospital will provide extensive emergency and trauma care, and laboratory, clinical and medical office space. Completion of this project will transform the provision of medical services for over 70,000 people of Consuelo.
Total construction budget is currently $3.56 million USD. All design, engineering, and approvals are completed. Initial phases of construction are complete. Our current need is $174,800 USD for the next phase: concrete masonry unit walls and ground floor fill and compaction.
