Medical Teams International
Tacoma Community House is a nationally-respected, community-based service center for immigrants, refugees, and long-time South Sound residents seeking enrichment and pathways to self-sufficiency. For 110 years, we have helped countless individuals gain the skills they need to transition out of poverty, navigate a new culture, and find personal and professional success. Medical Teams International partners with Tacoma Community House to provide urgent dental care and nursing services for clients on a monthly basis. US Programs seeks to strengthen the existing US healthcare system by filling crucial gaps in accessing urgent dental care. We ask all of our volunteers to come to their roles with compassion, understanding, and respect for the people we serve. Our volunteers aren’t just the heart and soul of our clinics — they’re the backbone of our work! Bringing free dental care and health screenings to underserved communities only happens because of compassionate professionals like you.

If this is your first time volunteering, please arrive 30 minutes before your clinic shift to meet the Clinic Manager and get oriented to the van. Please bring a water bottle and lunch.
