Based on these assessments and lab results, Mission Jamaica will develop an initial health plan for each individual the team evaluates. Mission Jamaica’s medical team will be a pacesetter and benchmark in excellence for providing basic health assessments, testing, risk factor identification, and education in charitable and non-profit medical groups delivering health care to the Jamaican people tha
t would otherwise not be able to access. We will carry out this mission through community service, education, advocacy, and promotion of respect and compassion. Team members will work together with local health authorities and the Ministry of Health to give each life we touch an increased awareness of threats and potential threats to their health and wellness.
