About Us

Our Vision & Hope

Healing the Children envisions a world where every child has access to medical care.

The challenges have never been greater: the ever changing healthcare system in the United States, the shortage of available funds to non-profit organizations, and the ever increasing needs of children here and around the world.

Until our vision can be realized, our goal is to be a powerful instrument of healing.  We hope to change the world for all the families.

Values motivate all that we do.

HTC staff and volunteers value:

• love of children;
• respect for people;
• application of best medical and business practices;
• people working together in teams;
• collaboration with other organizations;
• hope, optimism and faith;
• the ability of one person to make a difference; and
• the passionate commitment to take action.

Here is what has been done.

Since 1979:

• in our International Inbound Program (bringing kids from abroad)we have helped 7,141 kids from 105 countries, speaking dozens of different languages.
• Our Medical/Surgical/Dental/Special Project teams that traveled abroad have served 147,644 on scores of team trips.
• Under our Domestic (U.S.) Program, 2,875 U.S. children have received free medical care or assistance.
• 33,912 U.S. children have been served by our Special Group Projects.
• That means, since 1979, 191,572 children have benefited from the generosity of our volunteer medical professionals, our hospitals, our host families, our donors and our countless other volunteers.
• In our Sustainability Program, we initiate and join with others on projects that create lasting medical assets and resources for all needy children within a geographical area.
• Each year we provide millions of dollars worth of gratis care on modest budgets.  For every $1 we spend, we deliver $27 worth of care.

…due to the donations by hospitals, health care providers and numerous volunteers, medical supplies and services.
