About Us

Our Beginning

Alliance for Health and Rehabilitation developed based on the experience that Dale Deubler, PT,MS had in leading university service-learning trips to Merida, Yucatan for over 10 years. In 2017 the idea was created to expand this global health work into rural Yucatan, in conjunction with the state managed community-based rehabilitation clinics. In addition to blending consultation, direct service and education, learning about the local culture and reflecting on the experience continue to be integrated into each trip. After two years of effort, which included one trip and discussions with our partners in Yucatan and volunteer in the US, the Alliance was granted status as a 501(3)C not- for-profit organization. The Alliance will continue to sponsor trips that receive partial support from the Yucatan state and local governments as well as generous welcomes from the local residents.
