What is MRI?

Our Vision
Medical Relief International exists to provide dental, medical and humanitarian aid, or other services deemed necessary for the benefit of all people in need, and to network with other agencies to help them fulfill this vision.

Our History
Although Medical Relief International was founded in 2005, the ministry really began over 20 years ago with a small group of dentists who responded to an invitation from a mission organization in Haiti to provide medical/dental care.  MRI now serves the medical/dental needs in Haiti, Central America, Africa, the Philippines, and is open to serving in any other country where there is a like-minded organized mission who requests our service.

Our Future
MRI is expanding our horizons, perfecting a transferable and sustainable model of our holistic approach that will transfer to locations all over the world. This will be accomplished by networking with other organizations and will continue to bring our expertise together in one common cause.

Our Distinctives
What separates MRI from other humanitarian organizations?  What makes us so special?  We don't answer every call for help, but we work with established  organizations who are currently ministering to populations in need.  We empower  missionaries who are in the daily grind, enabling them to reach more people with their message of hope.  We also realize that the future of MRI rests in the hands of the next generations. Therefore we invest in students to carry on the work, as well as leading short-term teams to various locations around the world.

Dr. Michael Karr DDS, Haiti Field Director, has been involved in medical missions since the 1980's, when he began leading dental teams to Haiti.  Since then he has led hundreds of dentists, dental students and volunteers not only to Haiti but also to Honduras, Africa, Nicaragua, and the Philippines.

Dr. Mike has been known to shut down his own practice in order to take his entire team out on the field.  His generosity and tremendous heart for medical relief has always been a leading force in his personal and professional life.

Dr. Karr recently wrote an article for the American Dental Association regarding Haiti.  Read here.
