Tim Brown – Dentist

Post 2020 Mission – It was an excellent experience. I knew I would learn a lot from how GMRP “runs” a large team, and much more, and I did. All will help me in our future Haiti Missions when the “unrest” settles down, which I understand that it is.

There were so many positives about the mission, but at the top of the list was the absolutely wonderful volunteers and how everyone bonded and shared. That was true whether young, like my assistant, Leesa (age 26,) or older. I was pleasantly surprised that at 75, I was not the oldest. It was so fun and rewarding to share life’s stories at the end of each day or on excursions.

January 2020 – I graduated from Marquette University Dental School in 1969 and then spent 3 years in US Army Dental Corps. I started Brown Family Dentistry in Neenah, WI in 1972 where I still practice with my two sons, Drs. Tip and Tyler and daughter-in-law, Dr. Dawn.

I co-founded a dental clinic in Hinche, Haiti in 2012 where I have led 12 of their 16 missions. I was planning on being in Haiti this January. However, because of the unrest in Haiti, it was necessary, for safety reasons, to cancel two back-to-back scheduled teams.

My dental assistant, Leesa Whitman, and I were very pleased to be accepted by GMRP for their January mission. Both Leesa and I are anxious to serve and learn from a very experienced mission team which will help us lead future teams to Haiti.
