Tree of Life Medical Missions was founded in 2012 by Dr. Jeffrey Hardesty, Assistant Professor, Department of Gynecology & Obstetrics at Loma Linda University, Armando & Leonor Palomares, RN’s and Carlos Palomares CRNA.

Our dream was to create a foundation to provide hope and healing, both Spiritual and Physical to indigenous communities around the world. Our group of medical volunteers have had many wonderful experiences during the last decade in performing free medical/surgical campaigns in several locations throughout southern Mexico. 

To be more effective and to obtain federal tax-exempt status we formed the non-profit, charitable organization “Tree of Life Medical Missions”.
