Description:
Hospitals of Hope® is a 501(c)(3) Christian medical missions organization. We aim to improve the healthcare of the under-served, both locally and internationally. Our goal is to use medicine as a vehicle into the hearts of people, to demonstrate Christ’s love by showing the value of each person we care for.
We specialize in making an innovative, self-contained medical clinic called a Clinic In A Can® which is built in a shipping container. These container clinics are converted in the US and shipped, ready to use, anywhere in the world, providing an important resource for medical relief in the face of disaster or in areas with poor infrastructure. We also send medical, dental, and general volunteers, as well as students at various levels in their training, to serve at our hospital in Bolivia and in other countries, such as Haiti.
Organizational Base: Wichita, Kansas
