Partners for Belize is an organization dedicated to providing medical services, training, and support to improve the medical and economic self-sufficiency of communities in Northern Belize. Originating in 2004, Partners for Belize began with 36 volunteers on a combined medical and construction mission team under Dr. Jay Logeman. Since, the program has experienced exuberant growth, later supported by physicians such as Dr. Devinder Mangat and Dr. Rick Devore, who helped pioneer the first surgical team in 2007. Now, Partners for Belize continues to have multiple surgical trips each year, with 2019 having over 200 volunteers per program.
