Operations. HOPE operations will be ship-based, with the US Navy providing all life support services, to include security, housing, meals, communications, and transportation. The Teams will perform work ashore and redeploy to the ship for lodging and safety. The mission will be challenging physically and emotionally. A passion for medicine and helping people is a requirement. Being a team member, sometimes leading and sometimes following is a must. Flexibility toward accommodating change, adaptability, creativity, an adventuresome spirit, and a good attitude is also needed.

Funding. All volunteers participating are required to pay for any pre-deployment medical costs (vaccines, health exams, malaria prophylaxis); roundtrip airfare; all transportation from their home to the airport and back; any incidental hotels and meals associated with layovers and connections; VISA’s as required; and must ensure their passports are current and valid for at least six months from the expected date of return.
