Mission Statement
Medical Mission International was founded to provide immediate medical and surgical care to people in under-served regions of the world who have limited access to health care services, particularly to women and children. We believe that quality medical care is a catalyst for economic development and breaking the cycle of poverty.
About This Cause
The Medical Center (the “Center”) MMI built in Jucuapa is — in many ways —the catalyst for everything we have done, and will continue to do, in El Salvador. It was the dream of our founder, the late David V. King, to build this hospital. He was inspired by the work of his physician and close friend, Dr. Roberto Arevalo Araujo, and it began when he asked him the simple question: “How can I help?” David founded MMI for the sole purpose of building this facility, and while our vision has expanded greatly and our impact has grown, this Center has continued to be the focal point of our efforts. On November 9, 2011, the medical portion of the David V. King Medical Center opened its doors and began serving patients. Within the first year of operation, it served more than 18,000 patients. By July 2014, the Center had provided more than 30,000 patient services. The 20,000-square-foot facility currently serves numerous communities in the area, including Lolotique, Chinameca, Ciudad El Triunfo, Santa Elena, Santiago Maxia as well as San Miguel, with specialists on hand for clinical services, dentistry, gynecology, minor surgery and emergency care. The Center also includes a pharmacy and laboratory services. The medical portion of the center is staffed on a continuous basis by a paid medical staff who are available to treat common medical and dental problems.
