A Week of Healing: Reflecting on Our Recent Mission to Kalangala!

We are thrilled to announce the successful completion of our medical and dental outreach in Kalangala, Uganda! Our incredible team of volunteers worked tirelessly to provide essential care and support to the local community.

A massive thank you to our specialized team of 18 professionals from across Canada and the USA who donated their time and expertise:

6 MDs, 2 Nurse Practitioners, & 1 Registered Nurse 🩺
4 Dentists & 2 Dental Assistants 🦷
1 Chiropractor 🦴
2 Logistics Volunteers (the glue that held it all together!) 📋

International health missions require immense coordination and incredible stamina. Our volunteers worked long hours, bridging gaps in healthcare access and moving us closer to our goal of sustainable health solutions. Their dedication to global health is nothing short of inspiring.

Interested in joining the mission? ✨ If you are a clinical or non-clinical volunteer interested in participating in one of our future outreaches, please follow us here to stay updated on upcoming opportunities!

Today is a very proud moment for the Bridge to Health family.

Ronald, our very first BTH Dental Scholarship recipient, has officially graduated from the Medicare Health Professional College, earning his Diploma in Public Health Dentistry.

Ronald has worked alongside our team on BTH outreaches for over a decade. Supporting his dream of formally studying dentistry and then returning that knowledge to serve his people and communities in Ugand. This has been one of our greatest privileges.

This is the true essence of BTH’s sustainability pillar:
ensuring that knowledge, skills, and capacity remain within the communities we serve so that even when we are not present, care continues.

Next February, Ronald will once again work alongside his mentor, Dr. Gary, who generously funded his four-year program. The difference this time?
Ronald will be fully certified.

Congratulations, Ronald. We are incredibly proud of you and excited for the lives you will continue to impact.

Our Uganda 2026 February outreach is officially all set, and we couldn’t be more thrilled! We successfully completed our pre-departure session, where all our volunteers came together, met one another, and connected with our incredible local partner—the Kalangala District Government—as well as our dedicated student partners. The energy, enthusiasm, and sense of purpose in the room were truly inspiring.

It was a wonderful session that reminded us why this work matters and how powerful we are when we come together for a shared mission.

Thank you all for your patience, your commitment, and for taking the time to make this milestone happen. We are so grateful to have each of you on this journey.
