Testimonials
“Before I left, I didn’t know what to expect, but the communication from MEDLIFE was great. [ ] It doesn’t matter how much you put down in writing; you cannot know what to expect until you’re here. I think the experiences we’ve all shared together will enable us to rally our family and friends to join us because we’ve seen the truth and the reality, so I do think as a family we’ll be closer.”
“Understanding the social determinants of health and their impact on the individuals you work with is an incredibly important concept that is truly realized here. [ ] In my view, the benefits are substantial: personal growth, becoming a global citizen, and the chance to forge lifelong friendships, which is indeed special.”
“Our family had the privilege of participating in multiple trips with Nick [MEDLIFE founder] and his amazing staff. Their expertise made the trips unforgettable while instilling in my boys the fundamentals of good character: selflessness, compassion, and empathy.”
