Healing Beyond Borders: The Mission of Global Care Force with Roxanne Alexander Jones

Author: TravCon: The Travelers Conference May 16, 2025 Duration: 27:25

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Roxanne Alexander Jones, Vice President of Global Programs at Global Care Force, to explore how this extraordinary nonprofit is transforming lives across the globe through medical volunteerism.

Born from the crisis of COVID-19, Global Care Force now deploys dedicated healthcare volunteers to underserved communities in Ukraine, Egypt, Jordan, Mexico, and beyond—bringing critical care, medications, and most of all, hope.

Roxanne shares firsthand stories from the field, including the organization’s mobile medical teams in Ukraine, serving thousands of civilians in war-torn areas. We also dive into the rising need for medical aid in refugee communities in Egypt and Jordan, and how Global Care Force is stepping in where few others can.

Whether you're a healthcare professional looking for meaningful ways to serve or someone who believes in compassionate care without borders, this episode will inspire you to take action.
