Healing the
Children is a non-profit,
non-partisan, volunteer organization holding a 501(c)(3) I.R.S. tax
exemption, whose purpose is to help children throughout the world receive
medical care unavailable to them due to lack of medical and financial
resources or health insurance. Children are provided these services
through three basic programs. Our Stateside Program has treated
5000 children alone. Healing the Children locates doctors and hospitals in
the U.S. who are willing to donate their services, provides host families
homes for the children when they are not in the hospital, and provides
round trip airfare (which includes an escort) for each child.
Our American Kids Program serves
children in the United States and to date over 800 children in our local
communities have been given a chance for a brighter future. Health
providers are located to provide medical services to children who qualify
for this program. In addition, Healing the Children provides advocacy
services to children in our local area who lack proper health insurance
coverage and need specialized medical care.
Our Medical Trips Program sends
surgical teams to developing nations to perform on-site surgery to people
in need. Training and teaching programs established by our visiting
physicians and nurses have enabled our organization to provide medical
treatment to more than 66,000 patients worldwide. Approximately 20-25
medical teams are organized yearly. Volunteer physicians, nurses and
support staff travel to different countries at the invitation of a host
clinic, hospital or institution where they work collaboratively with local
physicians and nurses to provide quality medical care.
Since 1979, close to 75,000 patients
have been served through our programs and the combined efforts of
thousands of volunteers throughout the United States and abroad. There are
currently thirteen Healing the Children chapters utilizing services in
twenty three states and numerous countries.
