“Fabulous Service“ “Each year for the past 7 or so years I have gone on a mission trip to Honduras. I have always visited Passport Health prior to my departure so that I could be adequately prepared to whatever health dangers there might be on my trip. What I really like as the years go on is that Passport Health has the records of all the shots I have gotten in the past so they know what I’ll need for my next trip. This year, they just recommended malaria pills as all my other shots were up to date. They could have tried to “sell” me shots I might not have needed but they did not. The nurse/technicians over the years have also been wonderful and helpful. I couldn’t be more pleased with the service.”

“Great Experience“ “I went to Passport Health two years ago before a mission trip to Honduras. It was helpful then. I recently returned to Passport Health for my second trip to Honduras with my daughter. Nurse Megan did an amazing job with everything we needed, with great information about prevention, and what we needed to do to protect ourselves from malaria, typhoid, and the Zika virus. Megan did such great job to individualize our treatments around my daughter’s scheduled surgery. I recommend Passport Health for anyone who is traveling out of the US.”
