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 over 7,200 kids from 110 countries, speaking dozens of different languages.
- Our Medical/Surgical/Dental/Special Project teams that traveled abroad have served 153,000 on scores of team trips.
- Under our Domestic (U.S.) Program, 17,998 U.S. children have received free medical care or assistance.
- 42,788 U.S. children have been served by our Special Group Projects.
- That means, since 1979, 220,986 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.
