Providing healthcare to Guatemala's "Forgotten People"

For over 20 years, True North Missions has provided free primary healthcare to Mayan Indian children and their families in the remote areas of Guatemala.

We are staffed by volunteer physicians, medical residents and nurses.

The United Nations refers to them as "The Forgotten People". They estimate their number at over 200,000. Even now, years after being driven out of their home, their poverty and isolation impose many social and economic problems, not the least of which is healthcare.

Our focus is on children and their preventative healthcare — seeking total well-being. We have grown substantially over the past 20+ years and now treat over 4000 patients each year.

True North Missions is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization founded in 2000 with the express purpose of providing primary medical care to the underserved Mayan Indians of Guatemala. True North Missions sponsors six to eight trips a year, usually of one to two weeks in duration. We coordinate medical volunteers, make travel arrangements, and work with the government of Guatemala to obtain licenses and to determine clinic sites.
