ABOUT US
Established in 2018, Extra Mile Pediatrics is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit medical mission organization committed to providing repeated pediatric care to communities that face significant barriers to receiving treatment.
OUR EFFORTS
REPEATED CARE
What sets us apart from other medical service programs is that we return to the same communities time after time. Returning is more than seeing a familiar face, its deeply understanding the specific needs to ensure lasting change. When we’re not serving in person, we’re helping virtually with telehealth services and shipping over supplies like prescription glasses.
IMPACT THAT LASTS
With the help of our services, hundreds of children receive recurring medical care each year. The preventative care and habits we promote and teach now will solidify healthier practices for years to come. Creating positive change happens by performing comprehensive care while simultaneously developing long-term solutions.
EL SALVADOR
Trip Dates:
October 7-14, 2025 (FULL)
We began developing relationships in El Salvador in 2018, making it our longest-running program to date. Since then, we have expanded our program across five different communities, providing vital care to hundreds of children in need. Our field teams typically see around 315 patients during each trip. These week-long service trips take place twice a year—usually in April and October—allowing us to maintain consistent support and build lasting connections.
GUATEMALA
Trip Dates:
July 19-26, 2025 (FULL)
We started our program in Guatemala in 2020, and it has evolved into relationships with a mix of communities from the coastal region of the country to the higher elevation areas more centrally located. Our field teams are in Guatemala every January and every July to provide high-quality clinical care and to establish programs that directly address the barriers to great health care our patients and their families are facing.
