While the world looks abroad, millions of Americans lack access to basic healthcare. Rural communities, tribal lands, and underserved neighborhoods need volunteer physicians - not overseas, but right here at home.
The Hidden Crisis
Small towns across America have lost their hospitals, forcing residents to drive hours for emergency care. When the nearest doctor is 60 miles away, "access" becomes meaningless.
Native American reservations face some of the worst healthcare shortages in the nation, with life expectancy gaps of 5+ years compared to the national average.
Even in major cities, low-income neighborhoods often lack clinics, primary care physicians, and specialists. Healthcare deserts exist in every state.
Doctors Within Borders connects medical professionals with communities in need across America. Your skills are desperately needed - and the impact is immediate.
