The New Orleans Medical Mission Services, Inc. was organized in 2001 by Greater New Orleans physicians and businessmen to provide services to the needy in several ways.  We do so first by providing medical and surgical care to the needy of our Central and South American mission locations.  We help ourselves by reprocessing unused medical materials which would otherwise be discarded by our local hospitals and by collecting discarded medical materials “en bulk”.  We redistribute this in the form of provisions of logistical medical supplies to our mission sites. We have shipped several 40-foot containers to our mission sites and other locations worldwide.  Our organization consists entirely of volunteers.  We are funded by grants, corporate donations and by monies raised at our Annual Mission Possible Gala and Golf Tournament.  Thus far we have conducted several trips to Ecuador, Nicaragua, Honduras and Panama with more planned in the future.  We normally run multiple missions per year.  You can support our organization through prayer, participation, materials, ideas and funding.  The people we help appreciate it deeply.

The success of NOMMS is totally dependent on volunteers.  NOMMS was fortunate to start operations with a core team of people that shared a common vision of ministering to the medical needs of the poor.  It is time to expand our ministry and extend the services we provide.  If you would like to volunteer, please call 504-392-1934 for more information.

There are several teams that need additional volunteers:

Material Solicitation Team Responsible for obtaining donations of medical equipment, instruments and supplies. Material Preparation Team Responsible for sorting, cleaning and packing materials in the warehouse for donations and/or direct medical mission use. Technology Team If you are gifted with computer, internet, or inventory and warehouse technology skills, we want you.

Administration Support Team Performs the record keeping, inventory and communication functions for the foundation. Fund Raising Team Works on the Annual Gala and Golf Tournament. The team will also begin soliciting donations from benefactors.

Medical Mission Team Depending on the nature and scope of requested medical procedures, a particular mission must be staffed with appropriate specialists. It may be impractical for an individual to participate in more than one mission per year. Therefore, we need to establish a volunteer pool of resources to participate in our missions. Please read the Mission Handbook to understand your responsibilities; it contains the forms you will need to sign up for a mission.

If you would like to volunteer for one or more of these critical teams, please call (504) 392-1934 or email us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
