MIMA Foundation was founded in 1996 by a group of South Florida
Physicians and nurses. This group has grown to include members
from across the country.
A private nonprofit, non-denominational organization,
The team sends medical specialists
each year to Third World Countries that have limited or
unavailable medical care for the indigent population.
MIMA is derived from the Spanish "MIMAR", which means " To Care
For". Since inception, MIMA has traveled to Bolivia and Peru and
hopes to expand to locations in Central America in the
future....
All the members are volunteers; no one is a paid employee and all funds are raised by the team members. It costs approximately $1200 to send a team member on a trip, and all donations are tax deductible.
MIMA Foundation, Inc. is a 501 (c)(3) tax exempt organization recognized by the IRS. Founded in 1995, MIMA is 100% funded by private charitable, tax-deductible donations.
There are no paid employees and all labor, supplies and funds are donated. The organization coordinates with area hospitals, pharmaceutical representatives and local businesses to collect needed items. All supplies are brought by the team to the host country. MIMA is funded primarily from private individuals...your help is needed.
The MIMA Philosophy
• To provide medical care to indigent populations and underserved individuals who cannot otherwise access health care.
• To share medical knowledge with health care providers to insure continuity of care.
Our first trip was to Cochabamba, Bolivia, where we found great need for our services. For the next three years, Cochabamba was our destination and we will return there this year.
In 1999, we made our first trip to Peru and in the wake of Hurricane Mitch some of our team members assisted in Honduras.
MIMA has consulted with more than 1,000 patients and performed more than 500 surgeries. For many of our patients, MIMA offers the only hope of obtaining desperately needed surgical services.
