NAVMC supports the health, education and safety of children and families in need through local programs and international relief projects.

NAVMC began in 1995 following a volunteer trip to Armenia by Dr. Kelly Reber and Dr. Bert Mckinnon. They returned from the trip with the desire to organize a local group of doctors and nurses to provide free medical care to those in need. Since that time, our team has made numerous trips to many countries. Our volunteers come from all over the U.S. We are a non-profit organization that has little overhead. All volunteers pay for their own expenses. Our current efforts in Haiti include providing medical care through Bernard Mevs Hospital and the support of Orphanages in Port-Au Prince.
