I am interested in going abroad on a mission trip as a volunteer nurse. Does anyone have any recommendations of companies they went abroad with?

My colleagues have participated in Global Health Volunteers /Trinity Health mission trips to Peru in June/October and Jamaica -January: https://www.globalhealthvolunteers.net/ .  I helped secure a portable ventilator + battery for a man in Peru which this group hand carried to ensure delivery.  You pay for travel expenses or have fundraiser to cover trip costs.  My wound/ostomy nurse RN colleague has made 5 trips with them saying how experiences enriched their life.

Hope you can find a mission trip organization.
