Causes: Human Services

Mission: Providing medical and dental care to the homeless and lowest income people in our community

Results: In 2009 we completed a new facility and greatly increased the number of health care providers volunteering their time. We now have over 60 volunteer doctors and nurses. Each year we provide about $500,000 in free care to the poor. In 2008 we provided over a million dollars in free care. More than half of that was provided to the poor in Morocco where we provided dental care, cataract surgery, and general medical care. In 2010 we worked in the Navajo nation providing medical, dental and vision care to over 170 children.

Target demographics: Low income and homeless in need of medical and dental care

Direct beneficiaries per year: Hundreds to thousands each year.

Programs: Patient education, treatment of the poor and homeless, outreach to various locations worldwide. We have recently provided care in Mexico, Bolivia, Haiti, Russia, China, Belarus, Morocco and the Navajo nation
