Community Health Partnership
Honduras
Collaborative Community Healthcare
Together We Can Make a Difference.
We collaborate from the village level through to the office of the Administrative Director of Health Services with the common goal of better health outcomes.
Nearly all the school age children in the region have been treated with fluoride. Professional dental work is also provided at our clinics.
Using instruction with a specifically designed exercise program, our focus is on prevention. Our therapists treat chronic conditions as well and provide post-op follow up when necessary.
While our focus is on eye health education, we’ve set our sights on screening, testing and offering eyecare for everyone in the region.
We advocate for improved health through our community education programs and materials.
Diseases, ailments, and infections of the skin are common in poverty-stricken areas, but care is not. Our dermatologist runs a very busy clinic and is one of our most in-demand specialties.
End of life and compassionate care can be offered in the final days of an individual’s life
Education, prevention, support and resources such as prenatal vitamins are helping us to make a real difference today, and healthier pregnancies for future generations.
Our Model
We collaborate with Honduran practitioners to deliver world-class health care and education in the villages of Opatoro and Santa Ana Regions. We are the only NGO offering health services in this region.
FIrst
We take time to get to know the communities, the people and their home environments, where we can make realistic assessments for a continuum of care with their local nurses and health promoters.
Second
We work with community leaders to understand institutional structures and how to work within them. The local doctors and nurses, health promoters and village advocates, guide us with expert knowledge for providing best practices.
Third
We’re committed to these regions to help improve general health and outcomes with an emphasis on prevention. Our friendships play a very important role for returning team members. Volunteer colleagues from Tegucigalpa, the US and other countries have established strong ties with their rural counterparts.
Our Work
In collaboration with local communities and medical practitioners, we strive to improve the health and well-being of rural Hondurans.
