| Nursing services: | The primary activity of nurses who travel to our sites is participation in the management of children with acute health issues as well as conduct well child visits and prenatal care. FIMRC's clinics are stocked with basic medical supplies and charting systems have been developed to maintain continuity of care. In addition to seeing children in the clinics, health professionals can travel into the community to provide care as needed. FIMRC relies on these volunteers to act as investigators and advise the foundation on areas for improvement. We welcome your suggestions and comments once you return from you mission. FIMRC's medical sites and the children we serve are in great need of qualified nurses to provide medical care! Please see our website at www.fimrc.org for more information about each of our sites. Once you are ready to start the booking process, submit the online information request form and we will be in contact with you! |
