We’re thrilled to announce our upcoming dental service outreach mission to beautiful Costa Rica in partnership with Go for the City, and we want you to be a part of it! Following the success of our missions in Honduras, we’re expanding our efforts to make an even greater impact on the world of oral health.
Why Costa Rica?
Costa Rica, known for its stunning natural landscapes and welcoming people, is also home to a growing number of refugees from politically-instable countries further south. Last year, we partnered with Go For the City to provide dental care for some of these marginalized groups.
