Mission Statement
Hope and Health Project is dedicated to collaborate and connect with groups and organizations that help others in need in any part of the world. We teach and promote health by providing medical supplies and humanitarian needs. We also provide preventive care for medical and dental problems and teach medical students how to be better physicians and humanitarians later in life. HHP is dedicated to natural disaster relief efforts in the Caribbean, with Puerto Rico being a main focus.
About This Cause
Hope and Health Project - PUERTO RICO HURRICANE RELIEF: • Led a multi-center donation drive where HHP collected and shipped more than 25,000 pounds of basic necessities and medical supplies to PR • Created a mini crisis center for PR refugee families arriving in the Tampa Bay area where they can receive basic necessities as well as other state resources available to them • Partnered with a group of physicians from Tampa, Florida coordinating efforts to support the healthcare system in Puerto Rico during this time of dire distress. Volunteer groups are making weekly trips to the island to reach those in need. • Purchased and delivered over $30,000 of medications to the hurricane victims and hospitals in PR Hope and Health Project is dedicated to collaborate and connect with groups and organizations that help others in need in any part of the world. We are very concerned with the lack of medical, dental care, access to education, hygienic living conditions and safe shelter for residents in underdeveloped countries. This is why we exist, to assist medical and dental students, licensed physicians and or dentists in providing health and dental care in those areas targeted by Hope & Health Project. By assisting other professionals and groups to provide educational, economic, and enviromental assistance we will improve the living and health conditions of those residents in rural, underdeveloped areas. For more than 15 years we have worked with hundreds of medical students and physicians and we have helped thousands of needy children and adults in such areas as Jarabacoa (Dominican Republic), Haiti, and Nicaragua. Each year we travel to the Dominican Republic for a medical mission trip bringing suitcases packed with medications and basic hygienic supplies including anti-parasitic medications, vitamins, toothbrushes, toothpaste, pain and fever madications and other basic remedies. These may be easily available to us in the U.S but are not always available in those remote communities. We like to teach and promote health, provide basic medical supplies and humanitarian needs, work with local health care providers, perform basic surgical procedures and provide flouride varnish treatments, vitamins and parasites treatment.
